FORENSIC ACCOUNTING: Retained by counsel to conduct a forensic investigation into alleged improper transactions by the company’s Chief Executive Officer. The scope of our work included examining disbursements of corporate assets for personal gain, identifying misappropriation of funds through fraudulent invoicing, and uncovering accounting irregularities intended to “legitimize” such activities.

This investigation provided independent, evidence-based findings that supported the legal strategies pursued by the company’s owner and counsel. Specifically, our work substantiated claims of financial misconduct by the CEO, enabling counsel to seek damages for breach of fiduciary duty and misappropriation of corporate assets. In addition, our analysis supported claims under the civil provisions of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), entitling the plaintiffs to pursue treble damages, alongside other legal remedies.

INSURANCE PREMIUM AUDIT REVIEW: Engaged by a national provider of facility management services to the US Government to assist them in reviewing their Workers’ Compensation and General Liability Insurance annual audit. Our review determined that the insurance broker and carrier were inconsistent in the application of Workers’ Compensation codes based on employees having identical job titles and descriptions on the same project. Additionally, certain credits were not properly computed and taken such as the premium portion of overtime wages. Overall, we were able to save our client approximately 20% of the assessed Workers Compensation premium. As a result, we have now implemented proactive insurance review policies and procedures.

MERGES & ACQUISITIONS: We were engaged by a national leader in asset and expense management solutions looking to acquire a synergistic provider of telecom expense management services. Once our client had identified the desired company to acquire, we were brought in to identify the optimal transaction structure for both parties, as both parties agreed to work exclusively with us. After several meetings and acquisition structure suggestions, the parties agreed on an approach that satisfied the needs of all stakeholders who trusted our process and valued our blend of knowledge-based and experience-based guidance.
