About the Founder of FiscalRangers.com

Fiscal Rangers was founded by Vance Jochim, a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and MBA 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 a 80 location US concrete materials manufacturing firm. 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 governments.

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.

Mr. Jochim has been contacted by the US Dept. of Defense Inspector General, CBS, NBC, Conde Nast Portfolio, UK's Accounting Today, and the US Senate Democratic Policy Committee related to Corruption in Iraq. He has given presentations on Corruption in Iraq to several organizations and recently 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 a business operational consultant, plus he is forming another small business in Lake County. Jochim is active in the Lake County Republican Party and is also the Director of Publicity for the annual Sunnyland Antique & Classic Boat Festival in Tavares.

Lake County Fiscal Ranger meetings will be scheduled soon near Tavares, FL (near Orlando). Registered Lake County Republicans wishing to be added to the notification list should send an email to Vance at FiscalRangers@comcast.net .
