Lake County Fiscal Rangers

Corruption in Iraq & The World

Our primary blog focuses on improving Lake County, Florida government fiscal management and reducing waste of taxpayer funds in local Lake County government agencies and other institutions. Lake County is about 30 miles west of Orlando. Our focus is on:

- The Lake County government, which has a budget of $416-million and around 1,887 employees (including Constitutional Offices) for fiscal year 2009-2010.

- The Lake County, Florida School District in Florida (LCSD) which has 5,000 employees and is the larges employer in lake County. They have $450+million in net assets (after liabilities of $426-million, including long term debt of $377-million), a budget of $575-million, including $160-million for capital outlays (school construction, etc.) for 2009-2010.

- The North Lake County Hospital District, which collects a 1 mill tax on all residential & commercial property in North Lake County. The District Board automatically distributes the $11-million or more in tax funds to two Lake County major hospitals without ANY specifically defined purposes or requirements for performance reports or documentation to ensure public awareness, economy, efficiency and effectiveness of spending.

At this time, we don't cover local cities, but you never know...

About the Founder of FiscalRangers.com

Fiscal Rangers was founded by Vance Jochim, an MBA and former Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) who was a corporate internal audit manager in California for 18 years in firms like ARCO (Oil), Nissan Motor Corp., County of Los Angeles, as well as an international software firm and an 80 location US concrete materials manufacturing firm (now part of Cemex). He is an expert in the field of “operational auditing” which is different than financial audit methods used by CPA’s, and focuses on identifying, reviewing and correcting large operational and profitability problems in organizations and developing action plans to correct the resulting profitability or efficiency problems. Jochim founded FiscalRangers.com due to the large differences between the way businesses are professionally managed vs local Lake County government agencies.

Vance Jochim for Lake County Commissioner Dist. 4 In Iraq, in 2004-2006, Jochim was also the Chief Auditor and a US Embassy advisor to the Iraq Commission on Public Integrity (CPI). CPI is the Iraqi anti-corruption agency formed by the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2004. Jochim also wrote issues white papers for the 10 major economic sectors in Iraq for the US State Dept. Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO) and developed operational improvement action plans for the reconstruction procurement system in Iraq.

Jochim has also worked for Deloitte as a Senior Consultant in Afghanistan in early 2009 for two months, leading a team that developed courses and trained audit staff of 8 Afghan Ministries in internal audit techniques.

Mr. Jochim has been contacted by US Dept. of Defense Inspector General investigators, CBS, NBC, Conde Nast Portfolio, UK's Accounting Today, UK's Guardian Newspaper, and the US Senate Democratic Policy Committee related to Corruption in Iraq. He has given presentations on Corruption in Iraq to several organizations and provided a two hour continuing education seminar on the subject to the Orlando chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors in May, 2008.

Jochim moved from California to Lake County, Florida in early 2006, and is currently forming a small business in Lake County in the Medical Tourism field. Jochim is active in the Lake County Republican Party and is a member of the County Republican Executive Committee. He was also the Director of Publicity for the 2009 annual Sunnyland Antique & Classic Boat Festival in Tavares. He is a member of the Chambers of Commerce in Tavares, Mount Dora and Eustis. He is also on the Board of RubeLab, an "environmental innovation incubator" volunteer organization based in Eustis, FL ( http://rubelab.org/ ) .

For 2010, Jochim is running for the position of Lake County Commissioner, District 4, as well as establishing a new firm in the field of Medical Tourism.
