As a practicing forensic accountant, I have performed more financial damage analyses than I can remember. I am periodically reminded of this fact when I review and purge files in storage.  Invariably, I come across a file (or two) of which I have no immediate recollection. A subsequent review of the file usually refreshes my memory.

In performing these reviews I have come to realize I have worked on numerous financial damage claims arising from contract disputes, criminal misconduct, negligence and intentional torts. Industries involved have included dairy processing and distribution, other manufacturing, food services, not-for-profit entities, real estate development, software development, transportation and other industries not named here.
