Forensic accounting expert witness Richard Teichner, CPA, CVA, CDFAJ, answers the question Do I need a forensic accountant or valuations expert in my case?
Forensic accountants often have experience in serving as an expert witness. When explaining complex financial analyses to the trier of fact, it is imperative that your expert witness is skilled at clearly and accurately explaining the details in a manner that can be easily understood. Expert witnesses also must be objective and utilize generally acceptable practices in order for their testimony to be credible and admissible.
