IEc developed under contract the current versions of the U.S. EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance financial economic computer models. IEc also staffs a toll-free helpline to assist government employees in the use of the models and related financial economic issues that arise in enforcement actions.

You may contact the helpline at 888-ECONSPT (326-6778) or via e-mail at benabel@indecon.com

For cases that require more extensive assistance, especially expert reports and testimony, IEc consultants can be retained under a variety of contract vehicles. For additional assistance on the computer models, IEc can also be retained to provide live training courses over the internet via https://www.gotomeeting.com. Please contact the helpline to inquire about these services.
