Biography
Julie M. Plat, CPA, CFE, runs an independent forensic-accounting practice in Los Angeles, CA. Her own site lists an office at 515 S. Flower St., 19th Floor (per search-result address), and separately (per direct site fetch) states she currently manages the forensic accounting department at Kelly + Partners in downtown LA, after more than a decade as a senior consultant at Freeman & Mills and a stint as manager in the litigation consulting group at Coopers & Lybrand; a JurisPro listing instead states she worked at Touche Ross, where she taught in-house forensic-accounting courses. She holds a B.A. in Business Economics from UC Santa Barbara. She has more than 20 years in forensic accounting (JurisPro dates her expert-witness work to "over 50" engagements since 1989, more than 30 years). Her work covers economic-damages calculation, financial-fraud investigation (fund tracing, financial-record interpretation, internal-control assessment, witness interviews), and expert testimony at deposition and trial, including court appointments. Named case types include loss of income, partnership disputes, shareholder suits, business-interruption claims, embezzlement, breach of contract/fiduciary duty, accounting malpractice, lender liability, earn-out and lease disputes, across financial services, insurance, entertainment, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, construction, and real estate. She has presented forensic-accounting continuing education to attorneys and presented case decisions to the California Society of CPAs. She belongs to the California Society of CPAs (Forensic Services Section), the AICPA, and the ACFE.
