Our expertise in accounting and financial reporting is invaluable when alleged accounting malpractice stems from fraud not uncovered by certified public accountants (CPAs) or by failures of CPAs to follow professional standards.

Litigators, in-house legal teams and outside counsel, CPAs and auditors rely upon FSS to assist them through every phase of an accounting malpractice claim.
