Spire Experts Featured in Fraud Magazine: Construction Fraud in Boston’s Central Artery and Tunnel Project “The Big Dig”

Spire Consulting Group is proud to share that Steve C. Morang, Associate Principal of Forensic Accounting & Fraud Advisory, has been featured in the May 2026 edition of Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Fraud Magazine.

In the article, “Failures in Oversight in Boston’s Big Dig Collapse,” Steve examines one of the most significant infrastructure oversight failures in U.S. history and the fraud risks that can emerge on large capital projects when accountability, verification, and quality controls break down. The piece explores lessons learned from the Big Dig investigations, including falsified testing records, improper billing practices, fragmented oversight, and the critical role whistleblower tips play in uncovering misconduct.

The article also features insights from Chris Caddell, Co-Director of Dispute Resolutions, who discusses the unique challenges of accountability and verification across large, complex infrastructure programs.

Steve’s contribution reflects Spire’s continued commitment to advancing industry dialogue around fraud risk, governance, project oversight, and proactive risk management across the built environment.
