The Securities and Exchange Commission has brought charges against Hill International, its former chief accounting officer, and a former senior accountant for engaging in accounting fraud and disclosure violations at the construction management consulting firm.
According to the SEC’s complaint, filed Jan. 16 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the violations arose from “repeated reporting errors and a failure to maintain accurate books and records” by Ronald Emma, Hill’s former chief accounting officer, and Nicholas Tornello, then a senior accountant reporting to Emma.
