Frequently Asked Questions
What must an employee fraud expert witness report include under CPR Part 35?
A CPR Part 35 compliant report must include the expert's qualifications, instructions received, methodology, findings with supporting schedules, conclusions, and a statement of truth. The expert must confirm their primary duty is to the court, not the instructing party, per The Ikarian Reefer [1993] duties.
Can the same expert provide both investigation and expert witness report?
Yes. The same forensic accountant typically conducts the investigation and prepares the expert witness report, ensuring consistency between workpapers and reported findings. Early investigation under privilege can transition to a court report when proceedings are issued.
