The Team and Job Summary

We are seeking a graduate-entry Consultant to join our Forensic Accounting and Economics team in Singapore.  This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial, highly driven person with a well-rounded skill set to join the Forensic Accounting and Economics team, whose responsibilities extend beyond those of traditional junior accounting positions. The ideal person for this role will need to not only have a keen interest in forensic accounting, but also be flexible and a strategic thinker able to take on a variety of tasks.

The Consultant will assist in the quantification of damages, valuation of businesses, assessment of commercial insurance claims and other assignments.  Reporting ultimately to the practice leaders of our ‘Forensic Accounting – Insurance’ and ‘Economic Damages & Valuations’ teams in Singapore, the role will provide opportunities to work on a wide range of projects, including as part of multi-disciplinary teams (for example, alongside colleagues from J.S. Held’s Construction Advisory or Global Investigations practices). Please submit your resume in English.

 Job Responsibilities

• The team handles the full range of disputes requiring the quantification of economic losses including contractual and shareholder disputes, fatal accident and personal injury matters, white collar crime and civil fraud and investor-state disputes. Insurance claims include property damage, product recall, liability, theft/fidelity, and business interruption/lost profits. Businesses will consist of a wide range of industries and sizes.
• Use your knowledge of Excel to interpret and analyse the financial and operating information disclosed to our team in the course of assignments.
• Undertake research using public sources and paid information sources to which the firm subscribes, in order to identify data which will help the team to develop robust and defensible economic models.
• Draft requests for documentation to be used in our analysis (in the form of discovery requests and document request lists).
• Assist in the preparation of expert witness reports, written advisory reports and working summaries to be sent to clients. You will be the first set of eyes to make sure documents, transactions and information is accurate by flagging important details for senior team members to review.
• Organize supporting documentation and process data obtained for financial investigations.
• Assist with other assignments ranging from unusual insurance claim-related matters to investigation and advisory projects.
