Trainer Description

Steve qualified with Deloitte & Touche in 1983, becoming a manager and then a Group Manager in Audit. From 1990 he specialised in investigation work (including headline cases such as Polly Peck & BCCI) and transferred to Forensic Services in 1993 as a senior manager. For the next four years he worked on a variety of risk management, money laundering and fraud assignments both in the UK and abroad.

Steve continues to develop his training expertise, first gained whilst working for Deloittes, and he lectures frequently on his specialist topics. He always ensures his material is not only well presented and technically up to date, but is also fresh and contains practical advice and examples from his own experience.
