Testimonials

I can say that in my clients most desperate need for swift and reliable expertise in the area of forensic accounting and reporting, Steven made himself and his team available around the clock to ensure that the Court received the most compelling and objective forensic report on the state of my clients’ financial health. This played a significant role in securing my clients future. Steven and his team can only be commended for the exceptional professionalism they displayed in doing what needed to be done in what can only be described as very strict timeframes.

Mr Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD continue to impress us with their efficient and professional manner towards their clients and work. A significant point of difference to other forensic accountants is that their client's matters are dealt with practically, within agreed timeframes and the result delivered for a realistic fee.
Mr Ponsonby and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD are always a pleasure to work with and their knowledge in the forensic field is invaluable. We would recommend their involvement on any forensic level to assist with achieving a professional result.

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.

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.
