Magda Di Vincenzo

Director | Forensic
Melbourne

“Each of our engagements is different. It is this challenging aspect of the forensic work which I enjoy the most.”

Reliable and responsive, Magda builds relationships with clients through the life of engagements to facilitate the required outcomes.

She has 17 years’ experience in forensic accounting and helps clients quantify, analyse and review loss and damage claims made against them. Some engagements involve the preparation of an expert’s report admissible in court proceedings. Other engagements may be on a consulting rather than expert witness basis.

The approach Magda takes is always the same – based on sound financial principles with the ultimate goal being to assist decision makers, be it courts or parties to the dispute, understand the often-complex financial issues involved.
