FAMILY LAW - FINANCIAL ASSESSMENT
Under the leadership of respected Forensic Accountant Onus Maynes, EVIDEX's Family Law accounting division offers you the confidence of a decade of experience.
Financial Assessment Reports deliver calculations with a clearly worded explanation of what it is that is being calculated. The whole report is readable and easy to understand. Where appropriate, we will use special investigative techniques to look behind the obvious to uncover hidden assets or income.
Your EVIDEX Forensic Accountant will report on some or all of the following, depending on your situation:
Valuation of family assets
Valuation of business assets
Reconstruction of business accounts
Investigation of undisclosed assets or resources
Superannuation of one or both Parties
Tax effects of different division or disposal methods
Special Superannuation Service
Virtually all wage and salary earners in Australia have employer-funded superannuation. Super now forms part of a couple's joint property and can be divided. This may seem easy, but be aware: superannuation can be subject to taxation when accessed. Tax can easily be overlooked, resulting in an unfair division of assets.
Many super schemes provide "defined benefits" either as lump sums or pensions. The Family Law Legislation Ammendment (Superannuation) Act 2002 recognises about 20 different types of super fund. These funds are more difficult to evaluate and require expert assessment.
The tax savings from a well-structured division of a superannuation fund can be very considerable. This means simply that more money is available to divide between the parties.
EVIDEX offers a fixed-cost superannuation assessment service that includes tax
implications of different settlement strategies.
