Marks Paneth & Shron Sr. Manager Sareena M. Sawhney Makes the Case for Forensic Accountants in Article Examining Recent

NEW YORK, NY, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sareena M. Sawhney, MBA, CFE, CFFA, Senior Manager in the Litigation and
Corporate Financial Advisory Services Group of leading New York-area
accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP, has authored an article
discussing the critical role played by the forensic accountant in
detecting and investigating Ponzi schemes -- a heavily investigated area
of financial crime due in part to the recent economic meltdown.

In addition to providing statistics on the current state of investigative
activity, Ms. Sawhney's article discusses:

-- How Ponzi schemes often become exposed in financial bubbles
-- The red flags that should signal investors of a likely Ponzi scheme
-- How forensic accountants work along side law enforcement officials and
attorneys to "reconstruct the scheme" by tracing the movement of funds
-- Why forensic accountants are vital members of the investigative team
