Expert Witness Response E-213922
I am a certified fraud examiner and a forensic accountant with 35 years of experience as an agent for the IRS. I spent many of those years in the special enforcement/grand jury arena performing the forensic accounting needed in criminal cases for the US Attorney's office and testifying as an expert witness. I am comfortable reviewing the financial transactions and performing the indicated tasks. I would need to learn more about the volume of transactions to determine how long the report would take to complete.
