What We Do

Forensic accounting that stands up under scrutiny.

Forensic accounting applies financial analysis to legal disputes. It involves examining financial records, identifying irregularities, tracing funds and quantifying losses to a standard that withstands challenge in court.

Key Ledgers provides forensic accounting services in both civil and criminal matters. Instructions come from solicitors, barristers, insurers and direct from the courts as single joint expert appointments.

01
Civil Proceedings

Financial analysis in commercial disputes, breach of contract claims, partnership disputes and insolvency matters.

02
Criminal Proceedings

Financial investigation supporting prosecuting and defending parties in fraud, money laundering and financial crime cases.

03
Single Joint Expert

Court-appointed to provide independent analysis where both parties agree on a single expert. Most common in family and insolvency proceedings.

Our Position

The expert's duty is to the court, not the client.

CPR Part 35 requires that an expert witness owes their primary duty to the court, not to the instructing party. That independence is not just a legal requirement - it is the reason expert evidence is given weight by judges and tribunals.

01
Court-focused reporting

Every forensic report is written to withstand cross-examination, not to advance the instructing party's case.

02
No conflict of interest

Key Ledgers does not act for the same party in competing matters without disclosure and consent.

03
Signed statement of compliance

Every expert report includes a signed Part 35 declaration confirming independence.

04
Available for joint meetings

We attend meetings of experts and produce joint statements as required by the court timetable.
