Auditors' Liability

When an accountant’s work is called into question

Pressure on accountants is increasing. Clients and third parties ask more critical questions and claims become more common. An audit opinion or advice may be challenged after the fact. You need clarity quickly: is there a professional error and what are your risks?

Our service

Under scrutiny in both civil and disciplinary proceedings

The accounting profession is governed by a wide range of professional standards. Accountants aim to comply with these at all times. In practice, however, we see accountants facing claims more frequently. Not only clients, but also third parties are increasingly challenging their work.

For example, financial statements may not have been properly audited or statements issued may later prove to be incorrect. But when is a claim justified and when does it amount to a professional error?

Are you facing a disciplinary complaint or a liability claim? The impact is significant, both professionally and personally. We help you assess your position and define and execute the right strategy.

We focus on solutions and act decisively when needed

We advise and litigate on auditors’ liability, both for accountants and for the parties bringing claims against them. Where possible, we aim for a settlement. Where necessary, we act decisively in proceedings, both civil and disciplinary. Always practical, well considered and focused on achieving the best possible outcome.
