Editor: Tell us about your professional backgrounds.
Rivera: I served for 28 years as a criminal investigator with the Internal Revenue Service, where during the last twelve years of my career I served as a manager and then as a senior manager. I have worked in Colombia with the U.S. Embassy combating anti-money laundering (AML). I left IRS-CI to work with Rachlin LLP in the forensic accounting, anti-money laundering, and due diligence areas.
Wise: My background is very similar to that of Luis. I worked more than 32 years on IRS Criminal Investigations. I wound up my career at the IRS national office managing all ten of the fraud detection centers. I also managed an AML function known as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. There I evaluated suspicious activity reports (SARs) as well as currency transaction reports (CTRs). As a principal at Rachlin LLP, I do criminal and civil tax work as well as AMLand forensic accounting.
