On Improvement of Scientific and Methodological Basis for Conducting Forensic Economic Examinations Considering Other Types of Forensic Examinations (review article)

Abstract

Multidisciplinary forensic examinations reflect current tendency to integrate knowledge from various fields in order to objectively and impartially solve tasks of court proceedings, as integration of knowledge of specialists with different competences opens up new prospects for development of forensic examinations. Forensic economists who currently participate in multidisciplinary forensic examinations involving various kinds of interaction, sequence and degree of participation of each specialist in solving a common task have not been left behind. Article Purpose: to study into the need to develop scientific and methodological guidelines on the issues of carrying out forensic economic examinations while considering other types of forensic examinations. Leading methods of analysis and synthesis have been applied. The research paper substantiates the relevance of issues associated with conduct of forensic economic examinations taking account other types of forensic examinations. It is stressed that forensic economic examinations, during conduct of which results of other types of forensic examinations are used, do not fall under the concept of multidisciplinary forensic examination, since conclusions of other types of forensic examinations are not the research object of forensic economic examination. The paper emphasizes the need to develop an algorithm for conducting forensic economic examinations taking into account other types of forensic examinations. This will help forensic economists to use conclusions of other types of forensic examinations in multidisciplinary research without their evaluation, which in turn will enable to reduce the time for conducting forensic examinations and contribute to obtaining objective and unbiased expert conclusions.
