Written situation review

Suitable when you first need to determine possible actions and identify missing materials. The deliverable is a structured description of the circumstances and recommendations for further work within the agreed boundaries.

Analytical report

Used for a chronology, transaction register, document reconciliation and fund movement diagram. Determine in advance which sources will be checked and which connections need to be established.

Specialist opinion

Involves specific questions, a description of objects and methods, an examination section and substantiated findings. Feasibility is determined after assessing the materials and whether the task matches the provider's specialised knowledge.

Agreement before work begins

Discuss the document's intended use, contents, attachments and limitations. Preparing an opinion under a contract does not constitute procedural appointment of a forensic examination. Use of the deliverable in a case is determined separately.
