We were engaged by outside counsel to the board of directors of a New York-based client to investigate allegations of financial mismanagement and other improprieties by a recently departed fiscal manager and evaluate the effectiveness of the existing internal controls. Our work consisted of conducting a detailed review of the client’s financial records for a three-year period, conducting a series of employee interviews to evaluate the allegations and testing of the existing internal controls. Our work was used by the client to overhaul the existing internal controls and enhance financial reporting to management and the board of directors.
