Appointed an Associate Managing Director in the Forensic Intelligence and Investigations practice, Ives brings around 15 years of experience in financial crime, anti-money laundering, fraud, asset recovery, and compliance.
He joins Kroll’s Australian team from the firm’s operation in the United Kingdom, where he oversaw the firm’s Asset Tracing and Recovery team for close to a decade.
During his tenure at Kroll, he led a range of asset-tracing and recovery engagements involving corporate entities, banks, high-net-worth individuals, and sovereign states on behalf of law firms, financial institutions, private clients, regulators, and government entities. He also has experience working with governments to support them with Financial Action Task Force mutual evaluations.
Prior to joining Kroll, Ives worked with the Australian Federal Police and Australian Taxation Office, where he specialised in conducting cross-border money laundering, financial crime, and asset recovery investigations.
Throughout his career, Ives has led financial crime investigations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Kroll’s Forensic Intelligence and Investigations practice (which formerly was part of Duff & Phelps) has over the past years worked on a range of high-profile investigations, and is currently leading the monitorship of Crown’s Sydney casino.
