Expert Witness Services
At Acuitas, Inc., our professionals have extensive experience testifying in State Courts, Federal Courts, the Delaware Chancery Court, as well as in mediations and arbitrations. We specialize in translating complex financial issues into clear, understandable concepts for judges and juries. Our expertise includes, but is not limited to:
Accounting Malpractice: We provide expert services for both plaintiffs and defendants in accounting malpractice cases. This includes evaluating claims related to improper audits, inadequate tax advice, insufficient due diligence, and other consulting engagements. Our team is adept at applying the standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS).
Damage Calculations: We are retained to assist plaintiffs in commercial disputes by calculating damages and providing expert testimony during trials and other dispute resolution processes. Our proficiency lies in using widely accepted damage calculation methods, adhering to established case law and professional standards. Common cases involve breach of contract, business interruptions, and civil and criminal torts.
Damage Claims Rebuttal: We are also engaged by defendants to review and, if necessary, contest damage claims presented by plaintiffs. We work closely with legal counsel to identify flawed damage methodologies or unsupported assumptions, producing rebuttal reports and providing testimony to demonstrate potential errors in the plaintiff’s expert’s calculations and ensure compliance with professional standards and practices.
