Against today’s backdrop of increasing data complexity and intricate technology requirements, it’s more important than ever to be putting data at the heart of forensic accounting work and my role at FRA is to ensure the firm’s industry-leading technology capabilities offer an integrated, one-stop solution across multiple industries, projects and markets.”
