Forensic and corporate risk and control advisory

Clarity and rigor in complex situations

At Afianza we provide independent financial-economic advice in conflict, investigation, dispute or judicial and arbitral proceedings, as well as in contexts that require specialized technical analysis, review of controls or expert support to governing bodies. Our work includes acting as independent economic experts, investigating fraud and other irregularities, advising on the Ethics Channel and Compliance, risk assessment and corporate controls, and financial-economic support in corporate reorganizations.

Our approach combines financial rigour, independence and analytical capacity with experience in litigation, corporate and regulatory environments. We help companies, shareholders, investors, management bodies, compliance committees and legal teams to clarify economic facts, quantify damages, assess risks and internal controls and have a sound technical basis for decision-making or defending economic positions.

We evaluate policies, processes, risks and internal controls, produce heat maps and propose recommendations for improvement.
We analyze and value transactions between related parties and provide support in corporate reorganization processes.
