Instructing Inquesta Forensic
Common Questions from Solicitors
Whether you’re looking to find a forensic accountant you can trust, somebody who can handle your case with minimal fuss, or are seeking answers to forensic accounting questions, Inquesta Forensic is here to help.
A forensic accountant analyses financial records so the findings can be relied on as evidence. In practice that means quantifying a loss, valuing a business, tracing where money has gone, or testing whether the figures in another party’s case hold up. The output is a written report prepared to the standard the court expects, and where necessary oral evidence at trial.
Rob handles every instruction personally. He reviews the papers, carries out the analysis, writes the report and gives the evidence himself. There is no junior doing the work behind the scenes and no handover between the person you speak to and the person who signs the report.

The time to instruct a forensic accountant is usually at the point where the financial position stops being agreed. Common triggers are disclosure that doesn’t reconcile, quantum in dispute rather than liability, confiscation or restraint proceedings beginning, or a party giving an account of the finances that the records don’t support. Early instruction is generally cheaper than late instruction, because the scope can be limited before positions harden.
Yes. Rob accepts instructions as a single joint expert (SJE) in appropriate cases, including matrimonial finance matters and commercial disputes where the court directs joint appointment. He has acted as SJE in a range of proceedings across both civil and family jurisdictions.
Yes. All expert reports produced by Inquesta Forensic comply with CPR Part 35 and the accompanying Practice Direction. Rob is a Practising Member of the Academy of Experts and produces reports that meet the standards expected in both the civil and family courts.
Rob offers an initial no-obligation review of the papers to assess the scope of the instruction and provide an indication of timescales and fees before formal engagement. Contact Rob directly on 0161 243 0595 or by email to discuss your case.
Cost depends on scope rather than headline complexity. The volume of disclosure to review usually drives the fee more than the difficulty of the accounting. Rob provides a fee estimate against a defined scope before work begins, and where he is appointed as single joint expert the fees are ordinarily shared between the parties.
Yes. Rob is instructed by solicitors across the UK and internationally. Document review and analysis are handled remotely, so location makes little practical difference to how a case runs. Rob also travels for conference with counsel and court attendance as required.
