Valuable Papers

Matson Driscoll & Damico’s forensic accountants help businesses through the complex process of determining the value and replacement costs of valuable papers damaged or destroyed due to natural or man-made catastrophes.  

Valuable papers can include hard copies or electronic files of operational or financial data, R&D documentation, blue prints, business plans or even medical records, and their loss can be devastating to a business.   

Using a variety of techniques, MD&D’s forensic accountants review and assess the actual loss measurement and replacement costs by:   

• Working in tandem with insurance companies to catalog documents, establishing how and when they were last used, determine their future need, and audit and confirm all identified cost elements
• Monitoring replacement process and the flow of essential documentation, alerting adjusters to issues requiring immediate attention
• Recommending which damaged records are essential to the insured’s business and should be replaced, reducing final costs
• Working to determine reasonable and necessary cost verification and reimbursable amounts relating to valuable papers

Replacing years of data can be time consuming and expensive, and MD&D maintains a staff with the expertise and level of understanding to assist you and your business in handling your valuable papers claims.
