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). He also developed a forensic auditing & monitoring curriculum and has trained over 5,000 professionals worldwide on risk assessment, control activities, data analytics, forensic accounting, planning and executing investigations and remediation.

Jonny began his professional career as a Federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice, where he rose to Executive Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. His prosecutorial specialty involved investigating and prosecuting economic crimes by and against Fortune 500 companies. In the mid-1990s, the Justice Department appointed Jonny to serve as Special Counsel to the New York City Mayoral Commission on Police Corruption, where he helped to restructure processes and controls to prevent and detect corruption. The DOJ also appointed Jonny to review criminal codes and train judges and prosecutors in post-Soviet democracies.

Jonny has served on the faculties of the Yale School of Management, Fordham University Law School and Brooklyn Law School, where he taught courses on strategic fraud and corruption management, complex criminal investigations and international criminal law.
