Brian Miller has been appointed director of forensic accounting at Scottish independent accountancy firm Henderson Loggie.
The appointment is seen as a key step forward in the development of the Dundee-based firm’s forensic strategy.
He takes up his new role at the same time as partner Greig Rowand takes over as head of forensic in the firm, succeeding Frank McMorrow who will remain as a consultant with Henderson Loggie until his retirement next summer.
Rod Mathers will become head of corporate finance at the firm.
Henderson Loggie chairman Alan Davis said: “Our specialist forensic team has earned its place as the market leader in providing services to solicitors and Counsel throughout Scotland.
“Brian is already taking his own appointments as an expert witness alongside Greig Rowand. Henderson Loggie plans to expand its resources in forensic accounting in 2017 and build on its market leading position.”
Mr Davis added: “We are indebted to Frank McMorrow who has led the team to the top and has put in place a robust plan for further growth with Greig Rowand at the helm.
“Greig has specialised in corporate finance and forensic accounting for over 20 years and Brian has worked closely with Frank and Greig for over eight years.
“Both Greig and Brian are well known in our key market of civil litigation support in the Scottish Courts.
“Frank remains as a consultant to the firm and will support Greig, Brian and the team with transition through to his retirement next July.”
