   Ideas in Motion: Paul Eisenberg: Super Sleuth of Collections
   ...
   Paul is one of the more atypical CPAs around, although he carries with him another designation that is becoming more common to the accounting profession.
   
   As chief operating officer of Johnson, Morgan & White (JM&W), a commercial collections agency in Boca Raton, Fla., Paul is a CPA and CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner), both of which he uses everyday as part of his business.In a profession mostly foreign to accountants, Paul and the other JM&W executives, including the company's president, Robert Cooper, use investigative techniques to uncover fraud associated with collecting from debtors on behalf of the agency's clients.
   ...
   Key to the investigative procedures is how Paul is using technology to find and uncover debtors.
   
   "The Internet and software are great aides for researching debtors," says Paul.
   ...
   Beyond the software, the technology Paul refers to is more in line with investigative techniques endorsed by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the governing body overseeing the CFE designation.Some examples of electronic media and software in this arena include:
   
   · Online Public Search Tools.Paul says there is a multitude of available national, state and local Internet sites to research liens, judgments, mortgages, automobiles, boats and other areas."Once this information is obtained, the experienced fraud investigator can use the information obtained to find additional information on the subject," he says.
   
   · Publicly Traded Companies.Many of the debtors are publicly traded on various stock exchanges, NASDAQ, Bulletin Board, pick sheets or on numerous stock exchanges overseas.Obtaining information, including financial statements, cash flow analyses, major contracts, press releases, and officers and directors, is relatively easy, he says."However, using details found to "dig up" more documents requires diligence and know how."
   
   · Extensive Collection Database.Paul says the agency uses its own systems and databases to identify debtors who have previously been placed for collection with its own agency and other agencies.
   ...
   Just as Paul is seemingly different from many accounting professionals, his background also shows similar differences, although the running thread that ties it all together is his CPA designation.An accounting major at Boston University, he graduated with a degree in business administration.He soon joined a relatively large CPA firm (Main LaFrentz & Co.) in New York City in 1975 and became a CPA in New York in 1977.
   
   "I audited numerous companies of all sizes, public and private, over a four-year period, and joined their largest client, ACLI International Inc, a privately held physical commodities company with more than 2,000 employees worldwide, as its divisional controller," says Paul."I went on to head their London Finance division for two years in the early '80s, then returned to the United States."
   
   When he returned, he was promoted to corporate treasurer with responsibility in three main areas: managing the company's worldwide loan portfolio ($200+ million), overseeing the foreign exchange proprietary trading division, and serving as chairman of the Worldwide Credit Committee.
   
   "This was my first real exposure to credit and collections," he says.
   
   ACLI was acquired by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette and he became a senior vice president of DLJ.After several positions with other companies, he eventually joined long time friend Robert Cooper, as business partners in Johnson, Morgan & White.In a volunteer capacity, he has served as an officer and director of the International Association of Commercial Collectors (IACC) since 1997, and is currently vice president of the Association.
   
   "My CPA designation and background helps both me and my agency examine and understand complex financial statements, cash flow analyses, and complex loan/leasing contracts," he says.
   ...
   While there are many CPAs who are also CFEs - most of whom are using their designation in forensic accounting matters - Paul actively encourages any accounting professional to get involved in this specialty area within the larger context of accounting and finance.
