Ted Williams

Ted Williams has uncovered illegal/unethical practices while serving in both public accounting and internal audit, largely as they relate to securities rules violations as well as management reporting discrepancies. He has significant experience in:

• The review of operational activities and their susceptibility to fraud
• The overall review and evaluation of the adequacy of internal control environments
• The design and execution of proprietary fraud detection audit activities

Mr. Williams’ interest in joining the Fraud Detection Institute resulted from his knowledge that public accountants are not hired, nor are they responsible, for performing audit procedures that result in the prevention or detection of fraudulent activity on the part of management or employees. In addition, internal audit activities are not adequately staffed or scoped to perform a significant amount of fraud detection measures.

Mr. Williams has over eleven years of audit experience, including: five with Deloitte & Touche, LLP, three years with McGladrey & Pullen, and three years with Liberty Mutual. Mr. Williams served in both management and lead capacities in public accounting, and established and managed the internal audit function for Liberty Mutual’s San Diego office.

Additionally, Mr. Williams has served a variety of industries including: financial (banking, insurance, and leasing), technology, service, manufacturing, and health care. He is professionally trained in process improvement techniques and is an experienced trainer and public speaker.
