Aletheia to Present Financial Forensics to Central Ohio Tax Club
Aletheia Financial Forensics is pleased to announce that Managing Member James H. Rumph and Director of Forensic Investigations & Analytics Daniel A. Herb will present to the Central Ohio Tax Club on Thursday, September 17, 2026 at The Levee in Columbus.
Tax returns do more than report income and calculate tax liability. In forensic accounting matters, they often serve as an important source of evidence and as a key part of a much broader financial story.
During this presentation, James and Daniel will explore how forensic accountants analyze individual and business tax returns in matters such as:
- Employee fraud investigations
- Divorce proceedings
- Shareholder and business-owner disputes
- Civil litigation involving alleged financial damages
- Business-interruption insurance claims
Attendees will learn how information reported across tax returns, schedules, supporting records, and multiple filing periods can help identify financial relationships, reveal inconsistencies, corroborate other evidence, and guide additional investigative work.
Designed with tax professionals in mind, the session will also highlight the forensic significance of the information they prepare and maintain. Participants will leave with a greater awareness of how their work may be used in investigations and litigation, along with practical ways to provide additional value when clients encounter complex or disputed financial matters.
