Some matters are too complex for a fixed scope. When that’s the case, KeyNorth builds the investigation around it: structured, milestone-driven, and reported in writing.
KeyNorth investigates matters where the integrity of a transaction, relationship, or organization is in question: suspected internal misconduct, investor and lender fraud, and complex commercial disputes where the story behind the numbers matters as much as the numbers. We map relationships, trace activity, and surface patterns that change how counsel approaches the matter.
A structured investigation plan at the outset, with defined milestones and written findings delivered at each stage. Costs are understood before work begins and confirmed at each milestone. As new threads surface, KeyNorth reports back, and you decide how to proceed, keeping counsel in control of direction and scope throughout. Findings are fact-based, ACFE-compliant, and written for use in court.
Every engagement begins with a plan. Scope, milestones, and costs are defined before the investigation starts.
Fact-based, ACFE-compliant. No allegations beyond what the evidence supports. Ready to use from delivery.
Written findings at each milestone. You stay informed as the matter develops and decide at each stage how to proceed.
Two decades of forensic investigations. Trusted by some of Canada’s largest law firms and most well-known organizations.
A controller who inflated revenues to earn a bonus leaves a trail in the accounting records, but the story of how it happened, who else knew, and what was done to conceal it lives somewhere else. That is the investigation KeyNorth conducts. The financial transactions may be simple. The investigation rarely is. If you are unsure whether your matter fits, a preliminary conversation costs nothing.
Know your subject’s financial picture before you proceed. Fixed fee, written findings, and a defined timeframe.
Fixed-fee investigations that are designed to support the service of documents and the location of beneficiaries and witnesses.
Independent, methodical, and fair investigations supported by practical advice for employers and counsel managing sensitive matters.
Send a brief outline of the file, and we will set up an initial call at no cost. We use the first conversation to understand the matter, understand the scope and the sensitivities and confirm whether KeyNorth is the right firm for the work. Scope and fee follow from there.
