Forensic accountants deal with litigation that involves such issues as loss of income or contractual disputes, and they are frequently involved in the discovery process, which involves examination of the opposing party's information. They should document their procedures and sources of information with great care. As expert witnesses forensic accountants can be most effective with such techniques as being sincere, avoiding anger, being prepared to recite details of all professional credentials, and having an objective review done of their work by a colleague.
