I'm an expert on dishonesty in the workplace. I want to talk to you about how good people can make bad choices.
For over 20 years, I've worked all types of investigations: money laundering, embezzlement, conflict of interest, FCPA and criminal defense work. I have worked in the public and private sector. My clients have been government agencies, publicly traded companies, non-profits, medical offices and gaming.
They all hired me because they needed to uncover the truth and take action to fix the problem.
And it all starts with tone at the top.
“For fifteen thousand years, fraud and short sighted thinking has never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually you get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that? ”
