NEW YORK, NY… March 3, 2008........

Kessler International, the leading forensic accounting, computer forensics and corporate investigations firm announced today the release of the results of a nationwide survey detailing each state’s licensing requirements as a private investigator when practicing forensic accounting or computer forensics. The results of the survey can be found in The Kessler Notebook at www.thekesslernotebook.com.

Kessler survey included private investigation licensing agencies and boards of every state in an effort to secure an official opinion as to the requirements regarding PI licensing when practicing these professions. The survey disclosed drastic variances among the States which responded to the survey.

The responses in this survey in some cases are the interpretations of the responding agency. Kessler International has determined that some responses from these agencies reflect conflicting opinions from the State's Attorney General Office regarding private investigative licensing concerning the practice of forensic accounting and computer forensics.

Prior to hiring or practicing as a forensic accountant or computer forensic examiner it is suggested that you consult with an attorney who is familiar with the licensing laws for the particular state.
