For headquarters, regional management and group functions
An independent forensic lead for subsidiaries in Serbia and the Western Balkans.
For compliance, legal, internal audit and finance teams – and the headquarters they report to. Big Four methodology, mobilised within days, reported to group standards.
Typical situations
A whistleblower report or suspected misconduct in a subsidiary. An objective view of a local operation – before a decision, after a change of management, or because something does not reconcile. Group policies applied inconsistently; audit findings left open; third parties to be checked before contracts are signed; local regulatory exposure to be assessed and reported to group.
What you get
A lead investigator who scopes, secures evidence, interviews, analyses and reports to the standard group legal, external counsel and auditors expect – and a neutral third party whose findings give management a defensible basis for decisions.
A decade working between CEE forensic leadership and clients across the region means I know where local practice and group policy diverge – and how to report it, in English and to international standards. Remediation is part of the engagement.
