Bio

With a sharp eye for detail and a reputation for uncovering the truth behind intricate financial schemes, I am a go-to expert in conducting international and domestic forensic accounting and financial crime investigations. My in-depth understanding of complex accounting issues has positioned me as a trusted advisor in numerous high-stakes and high-profile fraud and corruption investigations over the past 25 years.

My extensive portfolio includes financial statement fraud, asset misappropriation, accounting irregularities, Ponzi schemes, and bribery and corruption. I am often asked to lead investigations into self-dealing, diversion and misuse of funds to analyze financial flows and quantify misappropriation of assets. I am a testifying expert and present evidence in matters involving allegations of fraud and corruption.

My previous professional experience includes 10 years at a Big 4 accounting firm. I am a certified public accountant (CPA), a certified fraud examiner (CFE), a certified insolvency and restructuring advisor (CIRA), and is certified in financial forensics (CFF). I publish about my work, teach investigative topics, and routinely speak on white-collar crime issues. I am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and the Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors; and currently sit on the Board of Directors for NY State Institute on Disability and for CaringKind, the Heart of Alzheimer’s Caregiving.
