Ms.
Gail A. Kasmir
CPA, CFE, CVA, CFFA, CFD, FLMI
President and Managing Member
Ms. Kasmir has a unique blend of public
accounting, private industry, and fraud
examination experience which makes her ideally
suited as a consultant to both the business
and legal profession.
Ms. Kasmir began her career with Ernst
and Young, CPAs. Her experience as an audit
engagement manager in the public accounting
field gave her exposure to companies of
diverse size and experience, including financial
institutions, insurance companies, charitable
foundations, and service industries. Ms.
Kasmir was then employed by a Fortune 500
Company as a Finance Manager, where she
gained hands on experience in the daily
management of a large accounting department,
including associated duties such as budgeting,
forecasting, internal audit and financial
statement preparation. Her experience with
this company also included cost/benefit
analysis of launching new products, and
computer system implementation and development.
Her next employment opportunity was as the
Chief Financial Officer for a start up company.
This company grew to have assets in excess
of $500 million. This experience further
developed Ms. Kasmir’s skills of accounting
management, internal control design, and
financial reporting, including SEC reporting
for a Parent company with seven subsidiaries,
data processing management, and regulatory
compliance.
The skills of Ms. Kasmir became specialized
over the past eleven years as she assisted
both state and federal government regulatory
agencies in the fraud investigation of a
complex multiple fraud scheme which involved
numerous entities and individuals. A multitude
of lawsuits were filed to recover assets
for the victims of this fraud. Ms. Kasmir
assisted in the recovery of millions of
dollars of funds for these victims through
reconstruction of records, and in serving
as a corporate witness in the numerous lawsuits
filed on behalf of the victims. Her efforts
also included litigation support by assisting
the attorneys involved with these matters
in identifying and explaining complex accounting
topics and in assisting in the calculation
of damages.
Through this intensive and concentrated
experience, Ms. Kasmir has formed Forensic,
Litigation and Accounting Consultants PLLC
in order to assist both the business and
legal community in the areas of fraud investigation
and deterrence, expert witness services,
litigation and trial support, and business
valuation. Other services include performing
both CFO and Internal Audit outsourced services
to business, as well as small business consulting.
Through Ms. Kasmir’s experience, training
and education, she has earned the designations
of Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified
Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Valuation
Analyst (CVA), Certified Forensic Financial
Analyst (CFFA), Certified Fraud Deterrence
Analyst (CFD), and Fellow Life Member Institute
(FLMI). Ms. Kasmir’s Curriculum Vitae
