Founded by Former "Big 4" Directors & Financial-Banking Senior Executives

As lead experts, we've evaluated the professional performance of 60+ director-officer groups, as well as 80+ annual audit teams, in connection with 50+ failed financial institutions with combined assets of $500+ billion.  In these complex matters, we've advised federal inspectors general, FDIC in-house legal counsel & third-party litigators on the tenability merits

of alleged financial &/or managerial misconduct claims against the parties-of-interest, as well as calculated the damages likely sustained as a result of these parties' suspected 

wrongdoings.  In another 200 disputations, largely involving banking, real estate, construction, financial services & manufacturing concerns, we've calculated economic

damages & investigated suspected financial crimes & fraud.  In these high-stake matters, we've employed state-of-the-art statistical, graphical & database 

applications to build, search, manage & analyze largescale Accounting, Operational, Reporting, Marketplace & Compliance related datasets. 

As Business Forensic Experts

We've taken decisive action no matter how complex the technical challenge.  At the outset of each engagement, we've defined, together with our clients, the key business forensic issues & objectives.  Then, after objectively executing the pre-approved case-specific fact-finding & analytical procedures, we've translated our quantitative & qualitative findings into concise testimony & instructive presentations, 

with clear & impactful exhibits.  As testifying & consulting experts, and as former senior-level industry practitioners & auditors,

we have convincingly explained a wide range of technical, theoretical & operational complexities to judges, jurors, arbitra-

tors, federal banking regulators, business executives, corporate directors, shareholders, investors & insurers.

ments & the highest principles of BUSINESS SCIENCE.
