“I’ve known John professionally for over 28 years. I heard all the stories about his work. I didn’t really understand the power or believe the entire story until I needed his services and he told me that when he was done we would have a signed confession, a resignation and restitution from the thief. I laughed, not thinking it was possible. Only two hours into the interview, John emerged, with a smile on his face and said, “I’ve got a signed confession, a resignation and restitution”… Thanks John.”

“I have known John for over 10 years and during that time I have utilized his audit services several times at one of my former companies to address very serious legal issues related to non-compete violations and internal theft. In each case, John and his team did an excellent job gathering very damaging evidence which supported our legal case. Thanks to John’s expertise, we were successful in winning each of these cases. I have also referred John to several other companies where they experienced similar success. He is a true professional and an expert in his field.”

“I would highly recommend John Capizzi and his company (Internal Audit Services, Inc.) for any corporate fraud investigations. At our Bank, John
was able to solve an employee embezzlement using his behavior analysis interviewing techniques... constantly shown true professionalism and integrity...”
— james sutter, cpa, internal auditor of the city of miami beach (former director of internal audit - jefferson national bank)
“John Capizzi is a true professional who never hesitated to assist me, taking my numerous phone calls and responding to many emails during off hours and during the weekend and very inconvenient times for most people, but not for John. He assisted me personally and my company (IFS) through a very difficult time with an employee embezzlement issue. If not for John’s efforts, as he was successful in coordinating a full confession from the embezzler, we would not have been able to prosecute the embezzler to the full extent of the law and realize some satisfaction and retribution. The embezzler was sentenced to a minimum nine months of jail time and to required financial restitution. None of this would have been possible without John’s efforts. If you don’t hire John to assist with a fraud, theft, embezzlement or related issue, you are working with the second team. Make sure you use the first team and don’t take any chances... he is worth it!!”
- Michael D. Ryan, President and CEO, Innovative Financing Solutions (IFS) Ardmore, Pa.
“I met Mr. John Capizzi over 30 years ago and retained his services for the purposes of assisting me in a case in which I represented a local businessman on a charge of Capital Sexual Battery. I asked John to interview my client for the purpose of obtaining necessary information to be used in formulating a defense. I was aware that John had in depth training and experience in interrogation techniques and case analysis; however, I was amazed with what developed due to John’s participation in this, as in many other cases.
John had attained a detailed confession, which law enforcement and
I had previously been unable to obtain. Preparation of a defense based upon inaccurate facts would have been devastating and exposed me to potential ethical violations.
John has an uncanny talent to ferret-out the truth and is tenacious and relentless in his efforts to protect his client’s interest. He possesses unquestionable integrity and professionalism and can be trusted to protect his client’s confidentiality in all respects. He is a brilliant investigator, risk analyst and a totally focused problem solver.
John would be an outstanding asset to any potential client. The costs, aggravation and exposure to risk preempted by Mr. Capizzi’s services always more than justified his fees.”
- Mark Skipper, Esq. PA Principal Skipper Law Group
“I have had the pleasure of working alongside John for two decades as a C-level executive of three international companies. I learn from John each time we talk and his counsel is always sound. His unconventional approaches to clever schemes keep him one step ahead of the bad guys who work amongst us. He is the definition of a professional skeptic”.
Paul Donahue, Centerra Group CEO/ Constellis COO; Formerly G4S GS President & CEO; WSI, COO and CFO

“We had a fraud issue at the company and had identified the culprit but could not readily determine the extent of the issue and potential involvement of other parties. John was instrumental in helping us not only elucidate the scope and extent of the issue but also extracted a full confession and testimonial from the suspect. John’s thorough questioning, attention to detail, and keen sense of truth or lies are key attributes to the successful outcome he generated. It also helped us improve our internal controls.”
- Bruce Learner, CEO Peroxy Chem, Philadelphia, Pa.
“I’ve worked with John Capizzi and Internal Audit Services for over 27 years. In this regard, I have referred many of my clients who have suspected internal theft and related issues to IAS.

I highly recommend John and team to any company needing a Forensic Fraud Examination and Loss Prevention auditing services.”
