For this purpose, an expert will be hired to investigate from an accounting point of view the effects of the litigation. Forensic accounting is also important in business valuation.

Accounting requirements in Latvia
Latvia uses the International Financial Reporting (IFRS) standards for domestic companies that trade securities in a regulated market. the use of the IFRS is not required for SMEs. The annual financial statements include the balance sheet, the profits and loss account, the annual report and all other notes to the accounts as needed. Auditing is mandatory only when the company has a net turnover and a total capital over certain amounts and the annual audit is to be performed by an official and registered accounting auditor. The Ministry of Finance is the authority in charge of establishing the accounting requirements and the guidelines for preparing the financial statements.
The Association of Accountants of the Republic of Latvia is the main professional organization for accountants that issues the Certified Professional Accountant Certification.
