Wednesday, 17 February 2016 As a key member of our Perth Forensic team, John will provide lawyers and the broader Perth business community with expert accounting and valuation advice and factual evidence to assist in commercial disputes. John brings with him a wealth of experience having acted as the WA representative on the national Forensic Accounting Special Interest Group committee of the Chartered Accountants (AUS and NZ) Institute. He adds significant bench strength to our Perth Forensic practice, having amassed considerable experience during his 20 year tenure with a Big 4 accounting firm where he provided valuation, financial due diligence and forensic services to the WA market. On joining the firm, John stated he 'is excited to be a part of what is arguably Asia-Pacific’s leading Forensic practice and is looking forward to building further upon the firm’s relationships in the legal and business communities'. The expansion of KordaMentha’s Forensic group is in response to the increased demand for forensic technology and valuation services across Asia-Pacific. Owain Stone, head of our national Forensic practice stated that 'now more than ever we are finding clients are incorporating forensic valuation and investigation as standard operating procedure during disputes as they become more complicated in an increasingly digital and global age'.
