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 sixteen 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.
