The company now known as The Cunningham Group had its beginning in 1980 as Cunningham and Company. Cunningham and Company was an accounting and tax services firm serving a variety of clients from privately held businesses to local and federal governments. By 1995, the company shifted its focus from accounting and tax advisory services to business consulting and the company name was changed to Cunningham Consulting. Our consulting was focused primarily in the areas of internal and external auditing, business processes and risk management. During that time, the pool of clients grew to a variety of industries including medical, construction, hospitality and nonprofits.
By 2001, our portfolio had expanded to clients in the telecom industry, which continued until June 2015. Shortly thereafter, we wanted to change our focus to fraud assessment, prevention and investigation. We felt this change of focus required another name change and we became The Cunningham Group. Drawing on the experiences of working with a variety of businesses, from the transactional level of accounting to advising management on key operational, financial and strategic decisions, moving into fraud was a natural transition. Our team of seasoned professionals at TCG has a combined 54 years of solid business experience in a variety of industries. This experience is key when assisting companies in making their control environments more efficient and effective. It also provides a solid foundation for transitioning into the anti-fraud profession.
