A forensic net worth certificate is a net worth statement, assets minus liabilities, prepared by a Chartered Accountant to a forensic, litigation-grade standard. Unlike a standard net worth certificate used for a visa or loan, the forensic version involves independent verification, asset tracing and scrutiny of bank statements, tax records and other documents to detect hidden or undisclosed assets and to withstand challenge in court.
It is widely used in matrimonial disputes, succession, bankruptcy and investigations. Patron Accounting LLP certifies it with a UDIN, so the court or an opposing party can verify its authenticity.
