Mr. Jonathan T. Marks CPA, CFF, CITP, CGMA, CFE, & PI

I specialize in global/complex corporate & government investigations (White Collar Crime) & other investigations. I have 30+ years of experience working closely with clients, their boards, audit committees, special litigation committee, management, internal audit, compliance, legal & outside law firms on global/domestic fraud, misconduct, antitrust, corporate espionage, cyber incidents, bribery, disputes, false claims, money laundering, qui tam, terrorism, tax fraud, whistleblower, & retaliation matters. Then investigate (10A, books & records, cross-border, FCPA, regulatory, etc.), and document the findings. In some matters, I have determined economic damages, performed root cause analysis, developed remedial procedures, & designed governance, risk management, & compliance systems along with internal controls & policies & procedures, & monitoring tactics to mitigate future potential issues.

I have provided expert testimony on accounting, damages/lost profits, financial internal control issues in commercial litigation matters, and money laundering/terrorist financing. I've appeared before the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA), & the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to present my findings. I have also served as a trial consultant helping frame strategy around complex issues - like revenue recognition.

I have led global compliance initiatives, fraud risk assessments, internal audits, 3rd party risk management initiatives.

I have deep expertise in accounting (GAAP), auditing (GAAS/PCAOB) & SEC matters. I have worked with the company, its auditors, management, & regulators on highly technical and complex issues. I am skilled in SEC reporting, registrations, & compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act of 1934, the False Claims Act (FCA), the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOx), Dodd-Frank, & the UK's Bribery Act (UKBA).

I am proud to say that I have written numerous articles throughout my career. One of my most notable achievements was being published in the Journal of Forensic & Investigative Accounting back in 2019. More recently, in 2023, I had the privilege of being a contributing author for the new COSO Fraud Risk Management Guide. This was a tremendous honor for me, as this guide is widely recognized as a valuable resource for professionals all over the world. Being a part of such important projects are some  highlights of my career, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have made a contribution to the field of fraud risk management.

I've educated & advised some of the world's largest companies.  

My thoughts & opinions are my own.
