Richard Long, a leading expert in drug trafficking enforcement, has been named as the new president of the Insolvency Practitioner Association (IPA). He is one of few sole practitioners to be elected to the post and takes over from Colin Haig of Baker Tilly who steps down tomorrow (9th May 2003).
Long is famed for his work tracking proceeds of crime alongside enforcement agencies and is widely respected as a tenacious investigator throughout the forensic accounting profession. He is regularly appointed by the High Court as a receiver to pursue and confiscate assets of known criminals on behalf of the Crown.
