John A. Capizzi

When you face a situation involving employee theft, embezzlement or fraud, you need the right expert – right away – to help ensure that you get the confession you want and the restitution you need.

 John Capizzi is principal of Internal Audit Services, Inc., International. He offers a unique assortment of services, including fraud examination, forensic behavior analysis interviews, risk assessments, and other loss prevention strategies that help businesses of any size, in any location, prevent employee theft and recover from it when it has already happened. Capizzi also speaks, writes and consults on these topics throughout the United States and abroad.

John is a low-key forensic fraud examiner, who is deeply attuned to the behaviors of those he interviews. He is consistently able to win the trust and gain confessions and restitution agreements from employees who might not be expected to admit to fraud. He is then able to work hand-in-hand with law enforcement to successfully bring resolution to internal theft issues.

The losses he has prevented in his 30+ years of practice are incalculable, which is why he is on retainer with a number of companies for consulting and training services that together serve as a deterrent to theft.

 His client list ranges from a small beauty salon to multinational companies.
