SECURITY AND FRAUD CONSULTING & SURVEYS

1 page, latest update 7/03

Expenses Apply in Addition to The Rates Below in Most Cases


Security Consulting Rates:
$195 per hour for all phases of short term security consulting projects, including travel time and report preparation.  However, substantially reduced caps on travel time apply for all out of state and foreign consulting work.  (An example would be a one way travel cap to Mexico City of 4 hours.)  Discounted rates or all inclusive flat rates can apply on many larger projects and extended consulting matters.  Seasonal reductions can also apply.

These rates apply on most types of domestic and foreign security consulting operations other than physical security surveys.

Most security surveys are quoted using an all inclusive specified time charge, basing this charge on the regular rate, less 20% - 40%, plus expenses.   Time charges for typical security surveys at mid-sized manufacturing plants and similar industrial facilities with no unusual or special risks generally run between $8,000 and $12,000.

Additionally, the majority of the work involved with anti-drug  programs is the follow up field work which is billed at the lesser investigation rate.

Fraud Consulting Rates:
$195 per hour is our normal rate in these situations and substantially reduced caps on travel time apply for all out of state and foreign consulting work.  However, in many cases, this service is provided in conjunction with a fraud investigation and in these cases, the lower investigation service rate may apply.

Executive Protection Program Development Rates:
This service is billed at the regular security consulting rates, including similar volume reductions.

Product Adulteration Response Program Development Rates:
This service is billed at the regular security consulting rates, including similar volume reductions.

Security Consulting & Program Development Rate Variances:
In most cases these rates would apply for all domestic and foreign operations.  However, there can be situations which would warrant slight increases in foreign lands.  These infrequent situations would usually have more to do with unusual foreign tax schemes than higher risk considerations.
