About North American Forensic Advisors
Forensic Accounting Experts Find the Truth Behind the Numbers
North American Forensic Advisors (NAFA) is an independent multidisciplinary advisory firm built around a simple principle: Forensic Precision. Strategic Insight.
NAFA is an integrated advisory platform built on two complementary business lines. Our forensic and expert services practice provides independent financial, investigative, valuation, and litigation support expertise. Our governance, risk, and compliance advisory practice helps organizations strengthen oversight, manage risk, improve compliance, and enhance organizational performance through recurring advisory and fractional leadership services. Together, these capabilities provide clients with both forensic precision and strategic insight while creating practical solutions to complex business challenges.
Our forensic and expert services practice includes forensic accounting, fraud investigations, economic damages analysis, business valuation, litigation consulting, expert witness services, and other financial and investigative matters. These services form the foundation of our firm and reflect decades of experience assisting attorneys, businesses, insurers, government agencies, and other organizations in resolving disputes, investigating misconduct, and addressing complex financial issues.
Our governance, risk, and compliance advisory practice builds upon that foundation. Drawing on real-world experience in public accounting, Fortune 500 organizations, compliance leadership, internal audit, risk management, law enforcement, and academia, we help organizations strengthen governance, improve internal controls, manage regulatory obligations, and enhance operational effectiveness. Services include compliance and privacy program assessments, enterprise risk management, internal audit, compliance monitoring, data analytics, digital forensics, cybersecurity advisory services, and outsourced or fractional Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, Chief Risk Officer, and Internal Audit leadership support.
Unlike many consulting firms that focus solely on recommendations, our professionals have served in the roles we now advise. We understand not only how problems are identified, but also how solutions are implemented in the real world. This practical experience allows us to provide objective, actionable guidance that helps organizations navigate challenges, improve performance, and build long-term resilience.
Through independence, technical excellence, and multidisciplinary expertise, NAFA delivers the insight organizations need to make informed decisions, address risk, resolve disputes, and achieve effective outcomes.
