Dan Ray is a partner at Hemming Morse with more than 35 years of extensive experience in conducting financial investigations across a broad range of industries.
During his more than eight years as a special agent with the FBI, Dan specialized in the investigation of complex white-collar crime matters, including several of the largest savings and loan failures in California. Since joining Hemming Morse in 1995, he continues to conduct investigations involving corporations in a variety of industries, including securities, insurance, banking and healthcare. He has assisted both prosecution and defense counsel, working as a consultant and expert witness in civil and criminal cases and testifying in federal, state and local courts.
Dan’s work includes a deep and unique focus in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) matters, having twice served as an FCPA Compliance Monitor, and also as an FCPA Compliance Consultant. In 2005, he was retained to serve for three years as the FCPA Compliance Monitor for Diagnostic Products Corporation (later becoming Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics) on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). In 2012, Dan was once again retained to serve as an FCPA Compliance Monitor for a medical device company based in Europe. Both of these engagements involved monitoring the worldwide operations of these publicly traded companies. In addition, in 2012, Dan commenced a four-year assignment as an FCPA Consultant for a pharmaceutical company with sales primarily in China.
Dan has published and been featured in several articles, and lectures frequently on the topic of fraud and forensic accounting.
