The Sarbanes-Oxley Corporate Fraud and Accountability Act has caused many companies to re-evaluate their choice of professional service firms for their financial, legal and consulting needs. NERA consultants understand that our "product" is our opinion or conclusion which, in order to be both reliable and persuasive, must be arrived at with detached objectivity.
The puzzling aspects of commercial litigation can take shape when the accounting, economic and financial components come together. Complex business disputes often raise equally complex economic issues. Resolving these disputes requires objectivity, access to resources, information and experience, and a rigorous and unbiased scientific approach. NERA professionals provide dispute resolution insight through research, analysis and valuation.
Our experts combine economic principles, recognized finance and valuation models, accounting principles, and statistical techniques with vast industry experience to address issues arising from general civil disputes, strategic business decision-making, public policy, competition and regulation. We are as recognized for our rigorous application of accepted scientific theory and mathematical models as we are for our ability to communicate concepts, opinions and conclusions in a clear, understandable and persuasive manner.
