Sunday Night Fears
Inspiration for SUNDAY NIGHT FEARS
Tom tells an audience of financial statement auditors how he discovered a massive leasing scam on his first public company audit. It would become the inspiration for his first novel SUNDAY NIGHT FEARS. He has given similar speeches nationwide, warning auditors how such hidden frauds could survive detection in annual audits. Auditors are not trained in the art of fraud investigation, nor is it their responsibility to find fraud.
One Honest Soul
Inspiration for ONE HONEST SOUL
In 1999, Tom led his Chicago Forensic Accounting team to a Latin American country (Guatemala for purposes of Tom’s second novel ONE HONEST SOUL) to confront a monster. The plant GM preyed on his workers, treating them in the most horrible of ways. If not for one of those employees coming forward, Tom doubts he would have been able to solve this fraud, which was the most significant fraud discovery of Tom’s entire career. So large SEC Regulations required it be disclosed in the company’s 10K filing. While Tom’s novels are fiction, they are all inspired by real investigations.
