Three Services,
One Standard
Reckonwell offers three forensic accounting services — each scoped to a distinct category of financial examination need, delivered with full workpapers and structured to accepted standards.
← HomeHow to Choose
Each Reckonwell service is designed for a specific type of financial examination need. They're not variations on the same work — fraud examination, litigation support, and due diligence have different objectives, different deliverables, and different starting conditions. The initial consultation is where we determine which service fits your situation, or whether a scoped combination makes more sense.
Suspected irregularities — Fraud Examination & Investigation is the appropriate starting point.
Legal proceedings or disputes — Litigation Support & Expert Analysis provides the analytical foundation.
Acquisitions or investments — Financial Due Diligence Investigations verify what's being represented.
Fraud Examination & Investigation
A methodical investigation into suspected financial irregularities. We review transaction records, identify anomalies, trace fund flows, and document findings in a structured report suitable for legal proceedings or internal governance purposes.
Our approach follows accepted examination standards and can be scaled to address concerns ranging from minor discrepancies to complex schemes. Engagements are scoped after an initial consultation to define objectives and boundaries.
Transaction-level review and anomaly identification
Fund flow tracing with documented evidence log
Structured report with full supporting workpapers
Findings suitable for legal proceedings or governance review
Litigation Support & Expert Analysis
Analytical support for legal teams involved in financial disputes — including damage calculations, lost earnings assessments, and rebuttal of opposing financial claims. We prepare written analyses, supporting exhibits, and can provide expert testimony when required.
Suitable for commercial disputes, partnership dissolutions, insurance claims, and regulatory matters. Each engagement includes a preliminary findings memo and detailed workpapers organized for legal team use.
Damage calculations and lost earnings assessments
Rebuttal analysis of opposing financial claims
Written analyses and exhibits prepared for legal proceedings
Expert testimony preparation and availability when needed
Financial Due Diligence Investigations
An in-depth examination of financial records conducted in anticipation of significant transactions or partnerships. We verify the accuracy of reported figures, identify undisclosed liabilities, and assess the quality of earnings.
Deliverables include a comprehensive due diligence report with observations and areas for further inquiry. Designed for investors, acquirers, and boards of directors evaluating potential commitments where the financial representations are material to the decision.

Included Across All Engagements
Regardless of which service is appropriate for your situation, every Reckonwell engagement is built on the same structural commitments.
Written Scope Agreement
Objectives, boundaries, and deliverables defined in writing before examination begins.
Preliminary Findings Memo
Interim communication of direction before the final report is issued.
Full Workpapers
Complete supporting documentation organized to allow independent review of all findings.
Post-Delivery Availability
Available after report delivery to address questions from counsel or other parties.
How Engagements Are Scoped
Pricing reflects the scope defined at the initial consultation. The figures listed here represent the starting point for each service — the final engagement cost depends on the volume of records involved, the complexity of the matters under examination, and the number of objectives defined.
Engagements that start with a clear, bounded scope tend to cost less overall and produce more usable findings than those that expand as work proceeds. Reckonwell's consultation process is designed to identify a workable scope before any commitment is made.
The Engagement Process
Consultation
We discuss the matter, determine which service is appropriate, define the scope and objectives, and agree on deliverables before any examination begins.
Document Review
Records are collected, logged, and examined according to the agreed scope. An evidence log is maintained throughout and observations recorded as they arise.
Preliminary Memo
A preliminary findings memo is provided before the final report, allowing confirmation that the examination has addressed the defined scope and identifying any gaps.
Report Delivery
The final report and full workpapers are delivered. Reckonwell remains available to address questions from counsel, regulators, or other parties after delivery.
