Forensic and Investigative Services

Do you have the investigative talent on your team to clearly state your case? Aprio’s Forensic and Investigative team has years of experience working with attorneys and clients in developing solutions through proprietary models and the gathering of necessary supporting documentation for use as evidence in the investigation of alleged “bad acts”.  Our involvement includes the handling of internal and criminal investigations through subject interviews and tracing of assets.

The multidisciplinary team provides clients with personally tailored services by bringing together a deep understanding of the issues at hand which enables them to bridge the gaps between criminal, civil and otherwise complex investigative matters.
