Crawford & Company Australia says Chris Ehlers has joined as National Technical Head, a newly created role that sits inside Crawford Forensic Accounting Services.

Mr Ehlers joins Crawford after a career of more than 20 years focusing on providing independent forensic accounting advice across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

“This is a significant appointment for Specialty,” Head of Specialty Loss Adjusting Craig McLeod said.

“With this hire we have added depth to our forensic accounting service offering. When there’s a dispute over indemnity, the numbers need to be absolutely precise and this is what Chris is known for.”
