Complex financial litigation or the discovery of a corporate fraud requires forensic accounting expertise to investigate and analyze the relevant information. Our clients have benefited from the results of the way our team conducts its rigorous investigations.

From the moment that we are retained in a fraud matter, our clients can rely on Gottschalk Inc. to assist them in dealing with the immediate impact of an investigation, internal and external communications, preserving the integrity of evidence, corporate governance issues, mitigating the damage and putting future financial controls in place to prevent further losses. Gottschalk Inc. will establish and analyze the facts and present an understandable briefing to the board of directors and senior management and ultimately report to the court.

In civil litigation cases, we apply the same tenacious fact-gathering methodology that makes all the difference in finding out what happened and where responsibility lies.
