Additional areas of expertise include brand protection and asset tracing.

From Kessler’s long roster of “Success Stories” in 2006, we present highlights from several “standout” cases:

$250-Million School District Expansion Project
Kessler conducted a forensic audit of the construction of three schools operated by a school district in Georgia. Our audit revealed fraud and mismanagement of public funds. During the pre-litigation process, Kessler’s findings were submitted to the construction managers, who to date, have settled with the school district for an amount in excess of $6-million.

Community College Audit
A forensic audit has uncovered evidence of the sale of grades, misappropriation of funds and mismanagement of millions of taxpayer dollars. Kessler recommended that further investigation is warranted by law enforcement to determine culpability. Additionally, Kessler recommended the establishment of stronger internal controls outside monitoring of school funds.

Brand Protection/Trademark Investigation
A nationwide investigation was tasked to determine the extent to which specific products were being sold outside commercially-mandated territories. The product in question had been packaged similar to and bore a trademark almost identical to one trademarked by a “household name” major worldwide manufacturer. Further investigation revealed that the product was being sold on numerous websites and shipped throughout the United States.

$142-Million Utilities Expansion Audit
A forensic audit of the books and records of a utilities expansion project, disclosed indications of possible bid-rigging and other mismanagement. The matter has been referred to the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further investigation and possible criminal prosecution.

$1-Million in Church Funds Embezzled
Another forensic audit of the books and records of a church, revealed the absence of over $1-million in church funds. A high-ranking pastor has been convicted on criminal charges.

Fraud in the Delta
Kessler International conducted a forensic audit regarding a claim submitted by a Louisiana business owner. The owner alleged structural damage to and/or destruction of several properties and their contents. Kessler's forensic experts determined the claimant had filed numerous claims on several properties in the area. Kessler expanded its audit to include these additional property claims and found several anomalies. Closer examination of the claim documents revealed that the level of flooding increased the further the locations were situated from the water. Based on its findings, Kessler recommended most of the claims be reduced and others completely denied.
