Court Calculations and Accounting Support
Preparation, review and challenge of court calculations for law firms, companies and organisations, with validation technology and high-volume production.
Overview
Calculations that follow the judgment, one parameter at a time.
A correct court calculation applies exactly what the decision ordered: indices, interest, start dates, bases and deductions. SGEx prepares and reviews calculations with teams of accountants, economists and business administrators, supported by validation technology that allows us to handle anything from a single case to large portfolios, with technical accuracy in every calculation.
When clients call on SGEx
- Quantification and enforcement of judgments that require determining amounts.
- Review and challenge of calculations by the opposing party or the court’s accounting office.
- Updating debts, court deposits, court-ordered government payments (precatórios and RPVs).
- Tax refunds, restitution and offsets.
- Case portfolios of companies and organisations that require standardised, high-volume calculations, including for provisioning.
How SGEx works
- Multidisciplinary team. Accountants, economists and business administrators, with technical review before each delivery.
- Validation technology. Official index databases, automated routines and cross-checking of every parameter applied.
- High-volume production. A standardised workflow for large volumes, with quality control and traceability per case.
Every calculation is delivered with workpapers showing the index, period and basis of each item.
What We Solve
- Does the calculation follow the judgment? Checking indices, interest, start dates and items against what was decided.
- Which indices and rates apply in each period? Applying the index and interest rate transitions set out in the decision and the law.
- Is the other party’s calculation correct? Identifying every discrepancy, with its amount and technical basis.
- What is the updated amount? Updating awards, deposits and debts to the date of interest.
- What does the portfolio represent? High-volume calculations to estimate exposure, provisions and settlement offers.
- What about ancillary amounts? Determining attorney fees, penalties and court costs under the judgment and the applicable procedure.
