MIAMI, January 7, 2008 – Kroll, the world’s leading risk consulting company, announced today the opening of a new office in the Eastern Caribbean.

The office is led by two former Big Four accountants who possess more than 20-years experience working in the Eastern Caribbean: David A. Holukoff and Glen E. Harloff.

Mr. Harloff is a Certified General Account and a Certified Forensic Investigator.

“More and more engagements – whether out of London, New York, Miami or Hong Kong – have significant ‘offshore’ components, and usually in the Caribbean,” said Sam Anson, Kroll’s Regional Managing Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. “David’s and Glen’s expertise in navigating offshore transactions in the region will strengthen our capabilities there.”

Thomas V. Cash, Executive Managing Director for Kroll in Miami, added: “With their local contacts and knowledge of the islands, David and Glen will give an immediate boost to our ability to serve clients throughout the Eastern Caribbean. In a crisis, companies need ‘boots on the ground,’ and Kroll now has an instant response capability from Trinidad up the chain to Jamaica.”
