Description
Not yet a CPA, Mike left a small CPA firm to become the controller of a private company that manufactured supplements. Concerned about the sales practices, he thought his accounting methods were harmless fixes to the company's growing pains - but the judge disagreed. The fraud was so outrageous that it was featured on CNBC's hit show "American Greed."
Learn all about his story through this interview conducted by Gary Zeune, CPA MAcct.
