Review of ATO Assessment – Objection allowed in full

"Hi, Steven

Just want to let you know that after 10 months of the processing, ATO had just informed me that my objection has been allowed in full.

I just want to express my appreciation for your help and your report is the key to this final resolution."

I had the pleasure of working with Steven in a complex family law matter where he was required to undertake the role of shadow expert. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but he demonstrated his expert knowledge in analysing and reporting on other financial reports much to the benefit of our mutual client. I look forward to working with Steven again and would highly recommend him.

I’ve been working with Steven for over 10 years, first as a colleague, and after as a Specialist in the Forensic Accounting space. Engaging the right person for the right task is a key driver in securing a thorough and appropriate understanding of anything. I engage Steve because he is always thorough, but commercial, gives precise reasonings and workings/commentary that allows me to review and understand his findings. He takes the time to assess the role, ensures he is value adding and is always professional in his approach to what are often sensitive matters that can have material and traumatic financial outcomes.

We act for a wide range of clients, including a number of insurance companies. One of our clients had received a claim in respect of a fidelity policy. Our client had a number of concerns, including possible deficiencies in the internal controls of the organisation that may have contributed to the quantum of the misappropriation. We engaged Forensic Accounting Qld to undertake an investigation. Steven Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting Qld applied a methodical and detailed analytical approach and as a result, quantified the total of the misappropriation and determined that there were a number of deficiencies in the internal controls in place for electronic payments that contributed materially to the quantum of the misappropriation.
Thanks to the efforts of Forensic Accounting Qld our client was able to reject payment of the claim, resulting in a substantial cost saving.
I was impressed with the professional approach of Forensic Accounting Qld to undertaking this investigation, the detailed report provided and highly recommend Steven Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting Qld.
