Compensation and Available Practice Opportunity Data
The majority of cases involve providing retroactive and current compensation data along with productivity compensation, medical malpractice insurance, signing bonus, relocation expense, and other recruitment incentives. This information is essential in validating and/or rebutting data created by forensic economists/accountants.
Some cases involve conducting a forensic (retroactive) job search to determine what positions would have been available during a specific period of time and in a specific geographic location. This requires identifying appropriate professional journals, research in medical libraries, and researching Internet job boards.
