FORENSIC ACCOUNTING

In 2016, after 25 years as a federal criminal investigator I retired and took a full time job as a forensic accountant - financial analyst for the US government. After seven years I fully retired from government service to concentrate on my business, MBL Consulting LLC. I formed MBL many years ago to concentrate on tax preparation and tax consulting services.

Now I’m fully invested in expanding my services to include forensic accounting work on a contractual basis. The following are examples of forensic work I have completed.

An individual pleaded guilty to money laundering, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States and Willful Violation OSH Act Causing Death to an Employee. The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies. Governments investigation proved that over a three-year period the individual failed to report approximately 139 million dollars of income and failed to pay payroll taxes in excess of 35 million dollars. I was tasked with analyzing governments evidence in order to reduce the tax loss and “punch holes” in how the government calculated the tax loss. I successfully reviewed and analyzed various documents to provide a written report along with spreadsheets depicting government deficiencies in how the loss was calculated.

A wealthy elderly couple hired a “family friend” (FF) to assist them with paying bills, running errands and overall assistance with weekly activities. During the course of my investigation/analysis of bank records, emails and other documents I was able to document that over a two-year time period the FF helped himself to approximately 3 million dollars of the elderly couple’s money. I analyzed and charted in excess of 30 bank accounts, credit cards, eBay records and Amazon purchases. The FF was indiced and pleaded guilty in federal court.

I was hired by an attorney to analyze, and render an opinion, on multiple years of tax records, incorporation documents, financial statements and other related documents for their client. The lawsuit involved family-owned businesses worth millions of dollars.

I’m a CPA and CFE with over 30 years of experience as a financial investigator with the Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigations Division and Department of Veterans Affairs – Criminal Investigations Division – Office of Inspector General. I have extensive experience in conducting financial analysis, money laundering, asset forfeiture, bribery, narcotics trafficking, and theft of personally identifiable information.

I have conducted thousands of interviews. I have contacts with retired federal agents from various agencies throughout various locations within, and outside, the United States. Myself, along with these contacts, are available to solve your problems.
