The work performed by accountants often comes under scrutiny. For example, financial institutions may question whether a CPA adequately followed professional standards in an audit where significant loan losses were experienced, or a class of shareholders may challenge whether a company’s external accounting firm followed professional standards if the company had restated its financial results, or a regulator may query whether a CPA acquired sufficient audit evidence in performance of services for a client. The Hemming Morse team has significant expertise and experience performing accounting services such as these, which enables us to objectively and critically evaluate any claims related to such services. Our clients benefit from the investigative expertise of a staff of seasoned professionals to conduct appropriate investigations, analyze issues, report findings, consult with counsel, and testify in both civil and criminal proceedings, if necessary.
