Advisory Services
SGEx's advisory services organize the information, criteria and assumptions needed on economic, financial, accounting, asset-related or forensic matters that call for independent technical analysis.
Context in which the service applies
Many technical questions arise before any dispute exists: a transaction that needs a defensible basis for value, an internal review whose scope is not yet defined, a calculation destined for a negotiation, or a set of documents that simply needs to be put in order. Advisory work frames the problem and sets the analytical path before decisions are made.
When this analysis is needed
- Defining the scope before an expert examination, audit or investigation.
- Independent review of calculations, models and assumptions used in decision-making.
- Organizing documents and data ahead of a possible future dispute.
- Diagnostics of processes, controls and records.
Questions typically analyzed
- Framing the technical question and the scope of analysis.
- Review of assumptions, criteria, calculations and models.
- Diagnostics of information, processes, controls and records.
- Organization of documents, data and supporting calculation memoranda.
