The Role

The Senior Forensic Accountant will be responsible for resolving financial insurance losses by investigating claims through detailed analysis and review of accounting records, third-party information, and general enquiries.

  • Set loss reserves.
  • Perform detailed analysis and review of financial and non-financial information.
  • Prepare reports by collecting and summarising information.
  • Identify potential litigation when appropriate.
  • Present evidence and serve as an expert witness at legal proceedings.
