Here is background information on John Hanson:
John is the founder and Executive Director of Artifice. He has over 20 years of fraud investigations, forensic accounting, corporate compliance and audit experience. John has applied his extensive experience in these areas across a wide array of areas and industries, frequently assisting counsel, government agencies and companies with internal corporate investigations and other matters arising from alleged fraud or misconduct.
John is a recognized thought leader and expert in the field of Independent Corporate Monitoring, a relatively new practice area involving the imposition of an independent third party by a government agency or department upon a corporation to verify that corporation’s compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement between the corporation and the government. John has previously served in a leadership role in a Federal Monitorship and is currently involved in three significant Federal Monitorships, two as the named Monitor.
His practical experience as a Corporate Monitor and extensive knowledge in this area has been recognized by the American Bar Association, which appointed him to the Ad-Hoc Task Force on Corporate Monitors, responsible for creating “best practices” and formal Standards for Corporate Monitors. John is the only non-lawyer on this task force and is a frequently sought speaker on the topic. He has provided practical advice, ideas and strategies to lawyers, government officials, and corporate executives involved in such matters, as well as newly appointed Corporate Monitors.
John’s diverse corporate compliance & ethics, fraud investigations, audit, accounting, finance, legal, regulatory, business operations and management, internal controls, training, international, fraud risk & vulnerability, interviewing and quality control experience, combined with his actual service as a Corporate Monitor and passionate commitment to “best practices” in Monitorships, makes him the ideal candidate and provider of Monitorship services.
Prior to Artifice, John spent over five years as a leader in the fraud investigations and forensic accounting practice of a large publicly traded international financial consulting firm, where he focused on helping companies and other entities prevent, detect, respond to and resolve issues associated with fraud or questions of corporate integrity.
John was also a Special Agent with the FBI, where for nearly 10 years he specialized in White Collar Crime and investigated a wide variety of complex fraud schemes and financial crimes. For his last two years in the FBI, John served as a Supervisory Special Agent and Instructor at the FBI Academy, the premier law enforcement training Academy in the world, where he developed and implemented fraud and investigative training curriculum for New Agent Trainees and conducted advanced fraud related in‐service training for experienced FBI Agents.
Prior to the FBI, he spent five years as the Director of Internal Audit and Quality Control for a large privately held mortgage origination and servicing company.
John is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (LA), a Certified Fraud Examiner and a Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional.
