Resources Connection, Inc. (RECN) CEO Kate Duchene says her company has historically grown primarily through organic growth. But, the time could be right for the California-based provider of finance and accounting consulting services to consider an acquisition in the forensic and corporate investigations arena.
“We are always looking at acquisition opportunities and where we might find practices, either geographically or from a discipline perspective that we could add to our core business in a synergistic way,” Duchene says. “One of the areas we are interested in is forensic and corporate investigations. We think there is opportunity in that arena as the world is driven by more and more regulation and compliance initiatives, and corporate investigations are on the rise broadly.”

Duchene adds that her team is also keeping an eye on other segments as potential targets for acquisition.
“There’s a lot of interesting work going on in data analytics. I think that’s an area where our IM practice leader is spending time looking,” she says. “Digital security is an area of interest and certainly seems to be on top executives’ minds every day, as we’ve all read about the Target scandal through the holidays.”
