Expertise

I can answer regarding Internal Auditing - especially operational audits, audit management, and how to revitalize a dysfunctional audit department. Also give advice to "auditees" on how to deal with auditors.

I DO NOT ANSWER HOMEWORK OR CLASS PROJECT QUESTIONS. For those answers, I suggest you scan previously asked questions and search on your favorite search engine.

I ALSO DO NOT ANSWER TAX QUESTIONS AS THIS IS NOT WITHIN MY EXPERTISE. NOTE: I am not an accounting expert although i will try to help if I can... ask at your own risk.

Experience in the area

I have worked in the public and private business management arena with experience in OMB, Resource Management, Internal Auditing and consulting. I am a former President of the Inland Empire Chapter Institute of Internal Auditors, previously held Director positions in the Orange County Information Systems Audit and Control Association and the Northern Telecom International User's Association. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner and a Certified Information Systems Auditor.
