Established in 2003 in the aftermath of Enron, PwC’s Fraud Risk & Controls was the only Big Four practice devoted wholly to prevention, detection, and remediation of fraud, corruption, waste and abuse. Jonny pioneered the “scheme and scenario” antifraud risk assessment framework, subsequently embraced or endorsed by the SEC, Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), the American Institute of CPAs (AIPCA) and the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
