With over 28 years Federal law enforcement experience investigating accounting fraud, tax violations, money laundering and financial fraud leading up to and during the 2008 financial crisis, SFR has the right tools for our clients' needs.  We offer our services worldwide to help our clients improve their performance, protect against fraud, and resolve issues.  Immediate access to trusted advisors who provide seasoned perspective, critical insights and actionable solutions is vital to strategic and effective decision making.

INVESTIGATIONS

We conduct limited or comprehensive investigations and internal reviews--many of which involve complex and highly sensitive criminal, civil and corporate matters--for clients and their legal and accounting advisors.  

As experienced senior professional investigators, we specialize in resolving a broad range of issues and challenges as independent investigators or as an extension of our clients' operations, audit and special committee investigations.

We are experts at gathering evidence and conducting interviews to establish facts and to determine viable options that assist executives and their advisors in solving problems and protecting assets, financial performance and reputations.

FORENSIC ACCOUNTING

We assist U.S. and multinational clients in responding to the discovery of or allegations as to the accuracy of accounting and financial reporting, fraud, regulatory or government scrutiny and consult on effective approaches to defend against these allegations.  

SFR provides expert review of financial records, whether for companies or individuals, to determine if fraud may have occurred, and who may be involved.

We provide services to investors in start-up companies to ensure the financial backing and and reputations of the investors and the company are protected.  

INTERNAL CONTROLS ADVISORY

SFR provides independent design, implementation and risk assessments of company internal controls, whether in new or growing companies or well established, publicly trading corporations.

The companies most vulnerable to financial fraud are those with little or no internal controls and those companies who take the position, "we've always done it this way..."

SFR has extensive experience in the creation of complex national and international programs, and internal controls.  The founding President created a new Federal law enforcement agency from scratch, which was recognized twice in six years of existence by receiving the highest rating and multiple "best practices" during government peer reviews. 

LAW ENFORCEMENT CONSULTING

We posses extensive experience in Federal law enforcement operations, establishing and reorganizing agencies and internal controls, investigative techniques, and both civil and criminal investigations into complex financial fraud.  

SFR has developed and taught sessions involving undercover operations, money laundering, asset forfeiture, internal and external bank fraud, and mortgage servicer misconduct as well as performing independent assessments of government program operations.

We provide law enforcement strategic planning and program development and training for local, state and Federal departments and agencies, which includes independent reviews and internal control evaluations.
