Dispute Resolution Services

Analysis of accounting issues

Know-how in analyzing and presenting complex transactions - - When submitting an accounting issue to an arbitrator or mediator, it is important to present compelling arguments to support a specific accounting conclusion and to understand how those same facts and accounting principles will be countered by the opposing party. Crafting these positions requires a complete understanding of the facts, deep knowledge of the relevant accounting literature, and skill at articulating the logic and merits of the argument. With decades of experience in analyzing, defending and refuting the accounting for complex transactions, the seasoned professionals at FRA are well-equipped to tackle the most challenging issues. Speak to us about using our know-how to resolve a dispute involving a complex accounting transaction.
 

Regulatory reports and testimony

Capability in explaining GAAP to regulators - - Regulators may be reluctant to accept GAAP accounting for rate making, capital adequacy or other regulatory purposes because of concerns about how GAAP works and whether the resulting information "makes sense" from a regulatory perspective. Convincing a regulator to permit the application of GAAP to a complex transaction requires a straightforward explanation of the transaction, its economics, and how GAAP reflects those economics. Our ability to simplify the complex and explain our views in plain English combined with our decades of experience dealing with the accounting for complex transactions makes us well-suited to serve as accounting experts when dealing with regulators. Bring our capabilities to bear in resolving disputes over the acceptability of GAAP for regulatory purposes.
