Spear's Review

With 20 years of experience in forensic accounting, Secretariat managing director Stephen Millington works closely with UHNW families, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, to support them during financial investigations.

His work often involves asset tracing, fund tracing, reputational due diligence, background checks and advising clients ahead of significant transactions. He frequently assists clients with cross-border investigations involving allegations of fraud or corruption, and with delivering objective, evidence-based findings to support both civil and criminal legal cases.

Millington’s clients typically are referred to and engage with him through other trusted advisers like family offices or lawyers, though in more complex or higher-value cases he works directly with the family.
