As most of the work was in financial auditing and involved direct interaction with client CFOs, Controllers, and other key managers, I truly enjoyed working diligently to bring a unique and incisive financial perspective and detail-orientation to all audits, financial projects, and other engagements on which I worked. The work was both rewarding and challenging because it entailed a highly detailed and deep understanding of the interaction of the many federal and state laws governing the Medicare/Medicaid programs. I thrived on building and engaging in a fantastic team atmosphere at Myers and Stauffer. Some of my interests and strengths in this specific position include: -Audit and Assurance services (Audit, Examination, Review, Compilation, Agreed Upon Procedures) -Revenue recognition, hospital specific accounting, complex lease and other accounting -Detailed review and hands on experience with complex accounting (ASC/CFR) regulations for healthcare and services providers -Medicaid Cost Report final settlement calculations in accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1 (PRM) -Combating healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse and internal controls review -Fixed asset accounting and capitalization of assets -Multiple entity consolidations and due diligence -Litigation support and forensic accounting and analysis -Long term construction contract billing and financial management -DOJ/FBI financial crimes investigation support services Show less
