Business Investigative and Insolvency Group
It is our team approach to an engagement and our expertise that contribute to the ongoing success of each unit. Our role is to develop innovative strategies that lead to successful results for all of our clients. Bankruptcy and Insolvency To successfully conclude a bankruptcy matter requires financial and business acumen to identify and analyze the significant issues in a case. RSSM’s group of bankruptcy experts have worked successfully with attorneys and other advisors to create strategies that have satisfactorily resolved situations initially deemed intricate, imposing and irreparable. We are often called upon for advice in the early, pre-bankruptcy planning stage. Management and the other financial and legal advisors are appreciative of this service, as we have been able to develop financial plans that avoid formal bankruptcy filings.
Our expertise in bankruptcy management extends to all parties in a bankruptcy – the trustees, debtor-in-possession and the unsecured creditors. RSSM provides a wide variety of services that include: For the Debtor
For the Creditors and Bankruptcy Trustees
Forensic Accounting and Litigation Support The RSSM team has the expertise to help management and their advisors discover how and why transactions occurred as well as who originated them. We work with counsel in investigating allegations of impropriety by carrying out functions including:
We have provided these services, as well as expert witness testimony in civil matters (including contract disputes), proceedings against management, mergers and acquisitions, damage computations, libel actions, investigations by news organizations, misuse of funds, bankruptcy, insurance claim disputes, equitable distribution conflicts, professional malpractice cases, stock churning, matrimonial disputes and other legal and accounting matters. In criminal investigative matters, we have participated in fraud cases involving federal income taxes, bankruptcy, commodities trading, securities, tax shelters, as well as commercial bribery, embezzlement and product theft. In the current technological age fraud has become more sophisticated. We stay up-to-date through continuous training and study of the latest techniques used to help combat white-collar crime. Business Valuation
Business valuation is a complex process requiring broad knowledge of finance and business, expert application of recognized valuation methodologies, and diligent adherence to professional standards. It is an art, rather than a science, in which sound business judgment based on solid experience in the discipline is of utmost importance. Our valuation professionals are experienced, tested and certified by both the American Society of Appraisers and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In valuing business assets for our clients in conjunction with estate planning, and/or in anticipation of a potential merger or acquisition, we take a comprehensive approach. We look at the elements that will determine the best value. These include a detailed review of a business and its history, the financial condition of the company and the economic outlook of the industry in general, as well as the company’s metrics. By analyzing “the big picture,” RSSM’s professionals provide clients with accurate and relevant planning tools. Mergers and Acquisitions
At RSSM, we view due diligence as much more than a brief visit to the target. It is an evolving process from the client’s letter of intent through the closing. We work closely with you on developing the appropriate focus areas for due diligence and then apply our expertise in identifying problem areas and minimizing your risk in the transaction. We have extensive experience with due diligence and have worked with many private equity groups and other buyers on transactions ranging from small(er) acquisitions to large(r) multi-national transactions spanning many industries. As always, our approach is comprehensive; bringing experienced professionals with the right business acumen tailored to a particular transaction, thus effectively and efficiently minimizing risk. |
