Case Studies

A trusted bookkeeper obtained credit cards in the name of the business and used them for personal expenses. I identified approximately $250,000 in fraudulent charges, reconstructed how the activity was concealed in the accounting records, and quantified the loss. The employee ultimately agreed to make restitution after being confronted with the findings.

I investigated suspected misappropriation by a business partner and identified approximately $1 million in funds taken from the business. My analysis documented the transactions and quantified the resulting loss. The partner agreed to make restitution.

I determined that the partner responsible for accounts receivable was diverting customer receipts to satisfy factoring obligations secured by other customers' receivables. I traced and quantified approximately $4 million in misappropriated funds. The court awarded the offending partner's ownership interest to the other partner as restitution.

I investigated construction expenditures and determined that a contractor had falsified supporting records to inflate project costs by approximately $644,000. The court awarded my client the full amount of the loss identified in my analysis.

In a partnership dispute involving competing valuation positions, I prepared rebuttal business valuations analyzing and challenging the opposing valuation conclusions. The matter was ultimately settled.

I prepared an expert report tracing the separate and marital components of retirement assets in a matrimonial matter. The trial court rejected my conclusions, but the appellate court reversed that determination and specifically cited my report and tracing analysis in its decision.
