Frequently asked questions
How does a family court accountant investigate hidden assets?
Overseas investigation cross-references Financial affidavit declarations against bank transfer trails, identifies assets moved to foreign jurisdictions or trust structures, and assesses whether beneficial interest has been properly disclosed.
What is Financial affidavit and why does a forensic accountant review it?
Financial affidavit requires disclosure of trust interests and overseas assets. A forensic accountant checks whether declarations match supporting documents and whether structures have been used to place assets beyond the matrimonial pot.
How long does a family court accountant report take?
Overseas and trust cases often take longer due to document collection across jurisdictions. A standard case typically takes 3 to 5 months; complex international matters may extend beyond that depending on cooperation and court timetable.
