Kathryn Karssiens

I'm a director in our forensic and investigation services practice, with a focus on investigating allegations of fraud and asset misappropriation; bribery and corruption; financial misstatements; and other areas of financial crime. 

I've worked on high-profile, complex issues throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa – across various sectors and a range of clients, including companies, governments, and private individuals. My experience includes:

• 12-month secondment to the UK Serious Fraud Office as a forensic accountant working on the investigation and prosecution of Glencore Energy UK Ltd
• investigating and quantifying an institution’s links to the transatlantic slave trade
• investigating high-profile allegations of fraud and financial manipulation for a FTSE-listed automotive company
• investigating misrepresentations of actual performance against KPI targets, using data analytics
• investigating allegations of corruption on behalf of an African government following regime change
• establishing the flow of funds relating to the sale of counterfeit goods sold by a distributor in the automotive industry
• investigating allegations of bribery against public officials in Southeast Europe.

Outside of work you might find me at karaoke (singing badly), swimming, or playing tennis (again, badly).
