Specialist Forensic Support
Financial Services, Trust Disputes & Legal Credibility in Liechtenstein
The Centre for Forensic Neuroscience delivers specialized polygraph examinations and credibility assessments tailored to the Liechtenstein financial marketplace, private wealth structures, and legal profession. Conducted by Dr Keith Ashcroft, chartered investigative psychologist and experienced forensic polygraph examiner.
The Role of Forensic Polygraph Testing in High-Value Financial Matters
As a leading European financial centre, the Principality of Liechtenstein is renowned for sophisticated wealth management, family foundations (Stiftungen), trust enterprises, and private banking institutions. However, when high-stakes disputes arise regarding beneficial ownership, fiduciary discretion, asset dissipation, or undisclosed agreements, traditional documentary trails may be ambiguous or conflicting.
A forensic polygraph examination provides an objective, scientifically validated assessment of credibility regarding specific, factual statements. Rather than subjective impressions, it records autonomic nervous system responses (respiratory, electrodermal, and cardiovascular) under standardized protocols, producing empirical data to support investigative decisions and legal evaluations.
In corporate and fiduciary contexts, our examinations assist in clarifying disputed oral authorisations, identifying or exonerating individuals suspected of misappropriation, resolving contentious inheritance claims, and evaluating witness reliability prior to cross-border litigation or arbitration.
All testing is conducted in full compliance with the standards of the American Polygraph Association and ASTM International (Committee E52 on Forensic Psychophysiology). Biometric recordings are analysed using validated numerical scoring algorithms, supported by independent second-examiner quality control.

When instructed through legal counsel, examination records, pre-test questionnaires, and forensic findings can be handled under legal professional privilege. We sign comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to protect sensitive commercial and personal information.
