I specialize in global and complex corporate and government investigations (white-collar crime) and other investigations. 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.
In commercial litigation proceedings, I have given expert testimony on a variety of topics, including fraud investigations, forensic accounting, accounting, taxation, damages and lost profits, and financial and internal control issues.
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.
I have served as a trial consultant, helping frame strategy around complex issues like revenue recognition and enterprise risk. I have led governance reviews, global compliance initiatives, fraud risk assessments, internal audits, and third-party risk management initiatives.
