Forensic Accounting Experts Support Business Success in Tampa

Advanced accounting services to enhance business processes, assist in litigation, build an ethical corporate culture, and deter fraud

Over the last couple of decades, Florida has been one of the most dynamic states in the nation, and the Tampa Bay Area has emerged as one of the most exciting regions in which to live and do business. With its successful pro sports franchises, its vibrant economy, and recreational opportunities, Tampa has become a destination for businesses that are either starting up or relocating. Finance, retail, healthcare, insurance, shipping and warehousing, national defense, tourism, and real estate are all vital cogs in an impressive economic engine. At North American Forensic Accounting, we’re excited to help companies in the Tampa Bay Area achieve their business goals. The more competitive a business environment becomes, the more companies must strive to eliminate unnecessary losses that drain resources and hamper productivity. Whether you’re looking for assistance with high-stakes litigation, regulatory compliance, disputes over insurance claims, or an internal investigation, NAFA is prepared to help.

Litigation support for Tampa Bay Area companies

A major downside to business is that legal disputes are inevitable. Companies operating in good faith can often reach amicable settlements, but if an opposing party is being obstinate, you must take on the inconvenience and expense of litigation. At that point, you’ve got to fight to win, and NAFA’s forensic accounting experts can provide the ammunition you need. Our forensic experts have vast experience in a wide range of legal disputes, such as:

  • Accounting and auditing malpractice
  • Insurance claim disputes
  • Breach of contract
  • Wage and hour complaints
  • Employee embezzlement
  • High net-worth divorce
  • Shareholder derivative lawsuits

Our team provides a range of litigation support services that include:

  • Business interruption loss calculation
  • Business valuations
  • Economic damages calculations
  • Expert witness testimony
  • Hidden asset investigation
  • Internal investigations
  • Wage and hour calculations

Commercial litigation in the Tampa Bay Area often pits small-to-medium-sized companies against powerful conglomerates with legal resources to spare. You can lose a war of attrition, even if the merits of the case favor your position. But with NAFA’s cost-effective expertise, you can fight on a level the playing field, so you have a greater chance of a favorable outcome.

NAFA business transaction services reduce risk for Tampa Bay businesses

When you set your sights on a business asset, you need reliable data about its true present value and what it might be worth in the future. NAFA’s expert analysts conduct reliable business valuations. We dive deeper into business records to determine whether the reported revenue is sustainable, so you can make a fully informed decision about what’s best for your company.

Advanced business processes let you build a better business

Every business wants a competitive edge, but most look outside rather than inward at their own business processes. After decades of practice, our NAFA experts have concluded that the greatest threats to sustained growth and prosperity come from within an organization. Poor process controls, lax ethics, and unenforced standards open the door for unscrupulous activity and unproductive behavior. For these reasons, many of our services focus on improving business processes and building an ethical corporate culture. We know from experience that progress in these areas will deter fraud, eliminate waste, and enhance compliance with complex regulations. NAFA provides a range of services to improve your processes and culture, such as:

  • Compliance audits
  • Sarbanes-Oxley testing & Internal Audit support
  • Contract compliance audits
  • Internal investigations
  • Internal audit department quality reviews
  • Internal control assessments and remediation
  • Risk assessments

Through these services, we can locate your company’s stress points and vulnerabilities. Armed with precise data, we can offer specific remedies, such as process improvements, purchasing solutions and more. To make organizational improvements last, we can help you develop a company ethics plan. We’ve found such plans to be totally transformative; companies that have suffered losses from internal fraud, waste, lack of productivity, and sanctions for noncompliance can become models of efficiency and positive morale. Our NAFA leaders have researched various elements that contribute to an ethical corporate culture, and we believe we have established a blueprint that can help any organization achieve this worthwhile goal.
