Our expert team provides detailed Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and fraud investigation advisory to assist attorneys in these international investigations. We deliver defendable economic and valuation analysis for the myriad of financial and accounting issues involved in high-profile accusations of corruption and bribery.  

Similar to forensic investigations, FCPA cases are inherently intense. Additionally, FCPA investigations are also often very complex, multi-year engagements. A blend of technical acumen and effective patience are critical to success.

How We Are Transparent

We perform our services on a flat-fee or hourly basis with leading attorneys, alternative investment funds, CFOs, CPAs, and other C-suite corporate executives. We strongly feel engagement scope and fee ranges should be communicated effectively and efficiently.

We accordingly serve clients in stages, and we encourage clients to take a methodical, calculated approach to deciding which professional offerings are necessary or optional. 

Our first service stage is dubbed the NAV Situation Scan (TM). The Situation Scan helps both our clients and our teams diagnose the services necessary for fulfilment of client objectives. We then communicate the results of the Situation Scan to derive a suggested road-map. The NAV team next proposes a time frame for delivery of service milestones. We are inherently flexible, and our Situation Scans outline a proposed plan of action and not a mandatory obligation. We have found clients cherish this "ramp-up or ramp-down" flexibility that can be implemented at any time.
