Forensic Accounting
Forensic accounting is a specialized area of accounting that is commonly referred to as investigative accounting. A forensic accountant analyzes detailed financial transactions and records during investigations of fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion, divorce, etc.
A forensic accounting analysis often involves tracing assets and analyzing complex financial transactions or issues (i.e., following the money). Many legal teams hire forensic accountants to serve as expert witnesses for their cases.

Business Valuation
Business valuation is the process of determining the economic value of a business interest (whether it be an entire business or a fractional interest in a business). Business valuation analyses are performed for a variety of reasons, including gift and estate taxes/planning, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes, bankruptcy, divorce, etc.
Business valuation can be complicated and is often referred to as more of an art, rather than a science. The procedures involve professional judgement, experience, and analysis of pertinent information.
