Ed, <br />Forensic accounting involves investigative ops. While we were attached to the Internal Audit Department, forensic accounting involved the detection, investigation and prevention of fraud. The frauds we investigated involved contractors, vendors, and employees or any combination thereof. Of the employee fraud, I'd guess a good 75% were management or were so when the crime was committed. Very hard to get a white collar conviction or time even in the face of overwhelming evidence. Some of the cases make good stories, but obviously I can't discuss them, even the closed ones. We were attached to IA because of resources as well as that permitted us to interview and interrogate without Miranda warnings. My certification is as Certified Fraud Examiner. I was required to testify in many civil and criminal cases. Additionally, testified in passenger train off's and station closings (remember them). And of course, lots of travel. When we did the operational reviews, that also required much travel. NS offered an early retirement in February 2001 and I took it. I have spent so much time away from home, I thought it was time to spend more quality time with my wife who has put up with all this for so many years. I was 58 at the time with 35 years service not including a separated 2 years in operations. NS considered me as 61 with 38 years service for pension. During college, I hired on as a summer extra board fireman. Kept getting cut off, and a division supt finally found me a clerical job after the army. After nearly two years, one day, they came around asking for resumes looking for college grads, I gave them one and six months later, boom, traveling working joint facility audits. <br />Hope this didn't bore too many. <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
