Boards must prepare for a range of challenging situations – including financial disputes, irregularities, and governance requirements. Protecting business value and stakeholder confidence depends on the ability to withstand these issues. Our accredited forensic specialists provide independent expertise when it is needed most – when facts are contested, financial records are uncertain, or suspicions of fraud, misfeasance, or misrepresentation arise.
  • Forensic services 

Our specialist forensic support spans investigations, disputes and complex valuations. Instructions are partner-led, with multidisciplinary teams that combine accounting, finance, sector knowledge and advanced forensic technology to uncover evidence, trace funds, reconstruct records, and accurately assess financial positions. Instructions frequently cover shareholder and partnership disputes, M&A and transaction-related conflicts, pension scheme or business interruption claims, commercial fraud, and regulatory investigations. We work with legal teams, boards, investors, and regulators to deliver reliable evidence, transparent analysis, and defensible conclusions through arbitration and expert determination – providing efficient, binding, and cost-effective alternatives to litigation. 
 
Our approach is pragmatic, proportionate, and focused on practical outcomes. We translate complex financial data into clear, actionable findings that empower confident decision-making and support timely resolution. Whatever the dispute complexity, we collaborate with clients to mitigate risk, safeguard value, and maintain momentum. 

  • Risk advisory services 

In today’s complex and regulated business environment, protecting your organisation from economic crime, misconduct and non-compliance is critical. Our Risk Advisory team offers tailored solutions to help safeguard your organisation and respond to incidents of economic crime and misconduct. 
 
Our highly skilled and experienced team engages with you to help you succeed in fraud investigations, meeting your Integrity and Compliance obligations, forensic audits, giving whistle-blowing advice and maintaining contract reviews, corporate intelligence and compliance obligations. 

BTG combines proven expertise across forensic investigation, accounting and compliance with a global reach, allowing us to draw on technology and corporate intelligence-driven solutions that deliver actionable insights. Our flexible resourcing models – whether outsourced, co-sourced, or through secondment – allow us to maximise value for our clients, ensuring they receive the support they need in the most effective and efficient manner. We ensure excellence in service delivery by adhering to standardised frameworks, best practice, and internationally recognised standards.
