I have 35+ years of experience working closely with clients, their boards, audit committees, special litigation committees, management, internal audits, compliance, and legal and outside law firms on fraud, 10A misconduct (NOCLAR), antitrust, corporate espionage, cyber incidents, bribery, disputes, false claims, money laundering, qui tam, terrorism, tax fraud, whistleblowers, and retaliation matters.
In some matters, I have determined economic damages, inability to pay, performed root cause analysis, developed remedial procedures, designed governance, risk management, compliance systems, internal controls, policies, and procedures, and monitored tactics to mitigate recidivism.

I've appeared before the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA), and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to present my findings.
