Forensic investigations for complex matters.

KeyNorth Forensic Services investigates financial misconduct and complex commercial matters for law firms, lenders, and insurers. We specialize in investor, lender, mortgage, and other irregularities and our evidence is built to hold up in court.

Built for litigators.

Since 2008 KeyNorth Forensic Services has worked alongside law firms, lenders, and institutional clients on complex commercial matters.

Our investigators are Certified Fraud Examiners. Our reports are written to the reporting standards of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and our findings have been used in evidence in Canadian courts.

Our work draws on open source intelligence, public record research, and direct fact-gathering, scaled to the matter.
