The end of an error
Please update your staff or writers as to my correct title: Vice President, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for Group ISO. I keep getting referred to as a Certified Fraud Examiner. This is not correct, and I do not want to use a designation that I have not earned and that does not belong to me. This was an error made very early on in my career, and I would like to ask for your assistance in making it right.
By the way, great article on "The worldwide fraud web exposed." Well done! Thank you for all your assistance.

Ted,
Thank you for alerting us to the error. We searched our online archives and corrected the articles that contained the wrong designation by replacing it with your title at Group ISO. We will continue to use your Group ISO title going forward.
And thank you for giving a shout out to "The worldwide fraud web exposed," The Green Sheet, April 12, 2010, issue 10:04:01. We appreciate the contributions you made to the article during our research process; the assistance you and other industry experts provide is invaluable.

Who knows portfolios?
Could you tell me who to contact to value a residual portfolio? I am interested in buying an associate's portfolio and adding the accounts to my portfolio. Thank you.
