Forensic accounting is the application of financial expertise to legal disputes. Key Ledgers provides independent analysis, fund tracing and loss quantification for solicitors, barristers and courts across England and Wales.
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.
Every forensic report is written to withstand cross-examination, not to advance the instructing party's case.
Key Ledgers does not act for the same party in competing matters without disclosure and consent.
Every expert report includes a signed Part 35 declaration confirming independence.
We attend meetings of experts and produce joint statements as required by the court timetable.
We respond to all enquiries the same working day. Instruction details are treated as confidential from the first contact.
