Lee Coles strenghtens PricewaterhouseCoopers´ Forensic
Services department in Prague
27 September 2006 - Lee Coles (33) has joined PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Senior Manager in the Forensic Services department in Prague. Lee transfers from PricewaterhouseCoopers London and joins the 40 strong experts of Dispute Analysis & Investigations (Forensic Services) team across the Central and Eastern European (“CEE”) region. Lee will work as a senior member of the Prague team and will contribute to the continued development of the department across the CEE region.
Lee has worked in Forensic Services in PricewaterhouseCoopers since 1997 specialising in investigations and working in various countries, including UK and Ireland, Kenya, Finland, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Romania. Prior to this he had worked at Lee & Allen, an investigations firm in London, for one and a half years.
Lee believes his new role will help strengthen PricewaterhouseCoopers’ team in assisting clients that face fraud or regulatory issues as well as those involved in commercial disputes.
“My goal is to ensure, by utilising my own experience obtained over the last 10 years and working with the wide skills base and forensic knowledge of our Prague team that we continue to develop and deliver world-class Forensic Services to all our clients. While we will continue to offer industry leading fraud investigations services, of increasing importance is the need to identify Fraud Risks and to provide solutions to address them. I’m looking forward to the challenge of working in such a fast moving region and I’m confident we will continue to develop and perfect an increasing number of forensic disciplines, skillsets and tools,“ he said.
Lee qualified as an ACCA accountant (Association of Certified Chartered Accountants) in 2000 and graduated from the University of Plymouth with a degree in Economics. He has attained a Certificate and Diploma in Fraud Management and is currently in the final year of a Masters in Fraud Management at the University of Teeside. His interests are football, music and cinema.
