Testimonials

References

Over the years (former-)colleagues and clients have been so kind to provide endorsements and references, a small selection is posted below.

 

"I am most impressed with your expert approach ... Your work has been most helpful" (Michael Guest, Former Judge South Island 2006)

 

"John is an absolute phenomenon in the area of crime investigations and forensics. But above all, he is a friend for life and one of the most honest, driven, talented and humoristic persons one could imagine. Highly recommended."Jeroen van der Reijken,  Account Manager/Security Specialist at Verizon Business 

 

"Being involved in one of the most complex matrimonial settlements ever has resulted in the necessity for me to deal with lawyers, accountants, bank managers, judges, bank ombudsman, the NZ Accountants Society and the Inland Revenue.

 

The success of my case relies heavily on traditional expertise in numerous areas. However, until the information from each of these areas was analysed and merged by you, into understandable and chronological order, progress was impossible.

 

I can state without a doubt that your experience and proficiency are indisputably the foundation of advancement in my case for fair matrimonial settlement and fair child support. In addition to that, your work has contributed to the likelihood of further fraud exposure and tax evasion.

 

The colossal amount of information from eight different entities (Trusts and Companies) needing to be analysed then amalgamated into concise affidavits and verbal statements has been accomplished by you consistently throughout the past three years of this battle to bring the facts into light to be re-examined under the law.

 

Appreciation of your multifaceted skills and respect for your comprehensive experience can not be expressed enough. Without your leading contribution to unravelling account discrepancies dispersed with fraud and deception, I could never start to establish what has actually taken place financially.

 

Your talent of extracting the facts from colossal amounts of various sets of information is nothing less than remarkable."

Tammie Fraser, Timaru, New Zealand
March 2009

 

 

"John brings a razor sharp, analytical focus to everything that he does. If you have an seemingly intractable problem with no obvious solution in site, John is the man to consult. He has tremendous expertise in the analysis and resolution of very difficult situations with the best interests of all parties always in mind. I cannot recommend John highly enough, I am convinced that no situation is beyond his abilities to resolve."

David Alexander, Social Engineering Specialist, Trainer Speaker, Mercury Advisors

 

"John and I met on Ecademy and we have now formed a real alliance because we have identified a great deal of synergy about the way we think and the way we do business. His expertise in his field of business system risk management and fraud investigation is outstanding. His commitment to training business owners in how to recognize and protect themselves from fraud in its many forms is the reason he has joined bizlearn.biz as a contributor and will be offering his insight online to our members. I recommend you subscribe to his newsletter at www.arcisfdec.com because it is the best thing I have read recently on this topic."

Michael Taplin, founder of Bizlearn.biz

 

"... the delegates were very impressed by your presentation ... they have clearly benefited from your presentation and interesting thoughts. Some delegates commented that your presentation was thought provoking, very detailed and structured... clear and concise, you have extremely good knowledge of the topic, coupled with your relaxed presentation style..." Norazlina Manap, Asia Business Forum

 

"I highly recommend John Dierckx as a person you should do business with. John is of highest ethical character and is exceptionally qualified in many different disciplines; law, music, philosophy, writing, and in fact, anything intellectually challenging is of interest to John. I call John "the machine" because of the speed at which he can crank out work. He'll write a 30 page report on something in an hour in incredible depth, which most people cannot do, even if given a month. Unlike many others in the legal profession, John focuses on results rather than on hours billed, and despite his rough-looking exterior, he is compassionate and often does work for clients at reduced rates if they are in financial distress. John is also a family man, with a lovely wife and 3 young children. I have been treated like a member of the family when a guest in their home, even though I have only know John for a few years. John is also very personable with a quick wit and can be quite entertaining. So if John contacts you about doing a deal, take the deal and ask questions later. You won't regret it."

Brad Ritchey, former client, now business partner at ARCIS

 

"John is an expert in his field, a consummate professional, a dedicated trouble shooter, an exemplary networker, a generous business cohort and a visionary for what may be in the new technological virtual business world. A joy to work with, always courteous no matter what the hour or the task in hand, he gives 110 percent focus and provides exacting solutions to clients. A five star consultant."

Tia Carr Williams, COO, www.amodus.org.uk

 

"John is both provocateur and providential and these traits never exist together, but there is a reason: John has this innate quality that will either inspire you if you are honest with yourself or prompt you to contact him to understand the mystery behind the man that is so well respected by many.Glad to call John my best friend and I do not make a move without consulting him. He knows me well and has my best interests at heart." Michael Pokocky "diarist, author, poet, entrepreneur, publisher, humanitarian"

 

"... Dude, I never knew my business could be so susceptible to problems and was so exposed to fraud and other malicious threats. What I like about your newsletter is that it shows me where my business weaknesses could be, how to identify them and how to stop them. You've got something unique here because I've never seen or heard of any newsletter of this sort that explains what the risks are, both internal and external, and what to do like this does. Nice job. Looking forward to more issues."

Ed Baran"

 

"I have worked alongside John Dierckx for the past three years as a fraud and computer forensic investigator and security consultant. John's abilities and professionalism are of the highest order."

Pat Coady, Owner, Corporate Risks New Zealand (South Island) Limited (2006)"

 

“I have had the pleasure of working with John on a case and found him to be extremely professional and methodical.” Kyle Southam Gen-i New Zealand

Andrzej Philips, owner of the Law Office in Poland and former Judge


"Had I done that (hiring you) after re-established communications with my previous business associate, it could have made the difference ... in court. ... I think there are many, many consumers that need the benefit of your service... it's invaluable." (NZ Client)

A very professional, kind, honest person with a big knowledge, wide range of interests... A person of action... Very trustful. Always ready to help. An incredible man. A true networker. I appreciate him a lot.
