Litigation & Business Valuation
Steeped in the nuances of applying professional standards to accountants’ malpractice matters, Berdon has experience advising both sides in these matters. We have been retained by counsel defending accountants and by those who are exploring alleged violations of professional standards. Our extensive experience includes cases involving the largest firms, as well as regional and smaller firms, in a wide variety of industries. With credentials built on service on the committees that set professional standards and wide experience consulting on and testifying in accountants’ malpractice matters, our insights and advice have been sought in many high profile matters. Berdon professionals have testified in deposition, before federal and state courts and at SEC Administrative Proceedings and arbitration hearings.
We work closely with counsel throughout the litigation process, consulting on applicable standards for key areas; identifying and presenting, in easily digestible formats, significant documents and their implications; assisting with deposition outlines; preparing expert reports; rebutting opposing experts; and providing deposition and trial testimony. Our reports have been used for favorable settlements and our testimony has been cited by courts.
Among the areas we advise in are:
SEC investigations
Violations of GAAS
Violations of compilation and review standards (SSARS)
Bankruptcy Consulting
