Eric Feldman, CFE, CIG, CCEP-I, Senior Vice President and Managing
Director, Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programs, joined Affiliated
Monitors after retiring from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in
2011. Feldman had a distinguished 32-year career with both the Executive
and Legislative branches of the federal government. He served in
executive positions with the Offices of Inspector General at the
Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, and
CIA, and he was the longest serving Inspector General of the
National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) from 2003–2009. At the NRO, he
presided over a highly successful procurement fraud prevention and detection
program, widely recognized by the Department of Justice as a model throughout
the federal government.
In 2009, Feldman was appointed senior advisor to the director of
the NRO for Procurement Integrity where he helped the director ensure that the
NRO’s industrial partners were meeting their integrity and ethics
responsibilities required by law and federal regulations. His work
involved the real-time assessment of corporate ethics and compliance
programs at more than forty government contractors, including some of
the world’s largest corporations in the aerospace, military and public
contracting fields.
During his tenure as a federal inspector general, Feldman
worked with the Department of Justice in establishing programs to prevent and
detect fraud in the federal acquisition program. As Inspector
General, he helped to recover millions of taxpayer dollars in matters
involving overpricing, kickbacks and other forms of fraud.
A former senior intelligence service officer, Feldman is
a 1995 graduate of the Federal Executive Institute, and is
both a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and a Certified Inspector
General (CIG). In 2016, he successfully completed the Certified Compliance
& Ethics Professional—International (CCEP-I) examination, which certifies
his expert knowledge of international compliance regulations and
processes.
Feldman was elected to the Board of Regents for the ACFE for 2019–2020. He is
also a member of the teaching faculty of the ACFE and a frequently
sought-after speaker and author on the topics of procurement fraud detection
and prevention, bribery and corruption, corporate business ethics
and compliance, and managing an Inspector General function. He has
given presentations at national conferences of the ACFE, the Society of
Corporate Compliance and Ethics, the Association of Inspectors General,
and the ABA Procurement Fraud Institute, as well as regional fraud and
compliance conferences in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Feldman
is the recipient of the 2018 James A. Baker Speaker of the
Year Award presented by the ACFE.
