In this episode, Sarah talks to forensic accountant Zachary Iqbal about dividing finances fairly.   Forensic accountants follow the money - they trace assets, value businesses and interrogate the accounts. Listen to Sarah and Zach's insights, understand what counts as marital assets and learn what steps you can take if you suspect your partner of under-valuing or hiding assets.  

Zachary Iqbal is an Accredited Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants In England and Wales. He trained with Deloitte International before working with companies across the UK, including Linklaters and Mishcon de Reya. He has led some of the UK's largest audits and worked on multi-million pound forensic investigations.
