Marschdorf Forensics

20 Years of Practical Financial Case Experience

Successful financial investigations reflect a strategy wherein the human element of the alleged perpetrator is equally as important as accounting for numbers. Essential components for moulding an effective financial investigative strategy are based on judgement, intuition, and specialty knowledge in criminalistics and information technology. Mr. Marschdorf has provided legal counsel and corporate clients with this investigative capacity from more than 20 years of practical financial case experience.

As a former leader of a cross-continental European investigations practice within a “Big 4” professional services firm, Mr. Marschdorf also provides the “Big 4” large case management experience without the potential conflict issues.

As a boutique firm operation, Marschdorf Forensics provides its services without having to be concerned about information loss from delegation to inexperienced staff, a phenomenon often observed in forensic practices of big professional services firms. When needed, we partner with hand-picked experienced practitioners in Europe and North America. Solving a fraud case is often easy. Proving the solution beyond reasonable doubt in criminal courts or on a balance of probabilities in civil proceedings is the true challenge.

Mr. Marschdorf’s case experience includes:

• Conducting high profile investigations on behalf of corporations and governments in Canada, the Caribbean and Europe
• Expert Witness in complex business fraud cases in several European and North American countries
• Extensive exposure to business environments in many foreign jurisdictions
• Contributing knowledge of fraud and lessons learned in publications and courses

His leadership experience includes managing a large investigations practice across countries in Europe and managing complex cases with interdisciplinary teams.

Mr. Marschdorf holds a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Cologne. As Chartered Accountant admitted in Germany, he can practice in the European Union and Switzerland. He also holds the professional designations “Certified Fraud Examiner” in the United States and “Chartered Director” in Canada. He serves as Vice Chairman on the Advisory Board to a Berlin MBA program of the Steinbeis Hochschule, School of Governance Risk and Compliance, for which he is also a member of the faculty.
