Welcome to HW Fisher Forensic, where the core skills of forensic accounting are employed to service our clients in several ways and across specific industries. What are these core skills?
As well as training our experienced and talented team of forensic accountants in these core skills, we have developed advanced large data analysis techniques, enabling us to manipulate, dissect and interpret millions of lines of information, thus increasing the speed, scale and accuracy of our work.
We harness this powerful combination of forensic accounting and advanced data analytics to provide the following services to our clients:
We perform audits of licensees, right users and franchisees, literally across the world, to ensure they have reported royalties accurately and completely to our clients and complied with their agreements. These audits are highly successful in generating substantial amounts of additional income for our clients.
We perform tailored reviews of client’s suppliers, distributors and joint venture partners to provide assurance that third parties have adhered to their contractual agreements and that our clients receive full value from these relationships. We are expert in identifying any areas of supplier non-compliance, recovering lost profits stemming from billing errors and material over-charging, as well as highlighting opportunities for process and contractual improvement.
Whilst cost and royalties recoveries for our clients are inevitably a feature of our work, our detailed approach and business sense invariably allows us to propose enhancements to our clients’ approach to contracting and thus delivering additional value.
In October 2025, Media Marketing Compliance (MMC), an industry-leading firm enabling businesses to achieve financial transparency throughout their media and marketing supply chain, joined HW Fisher. MMC conducts financial compliance audits for advertisers across the globe to deliver transparency in the media and marketing supply chain by verifying the amount they spend on media and advertising is correctly applied according to their contractual agreements. MMC’s compliance audits deliver a robust service leading to hard cash recoveries for its clients as well as added value through optimising contract terms and reporting requirements providing the client with increased protection, transparency, and savings in the future.
We support legal teams with both civil and criminal matters. We may be instructed to assess the quantum of damages resulting from a breach of contract or provide the valuation of a business in connect with a commercial dispute. Alternatively, we may be tasked with tracing transactions through a labyrinth of accounting records and bank statements to support either civil or criminal investigations in connect with bribery and fraud.
We work across a number of different industries but have developed a particular specialism in:
Pharmaceutical
Character Merchandising
Music
TV
Book Publishing
Gaming
