New York, NY – August 4, 2022 – CohnReznick LLP, one of the leading advisory, assurance, and tax firms in the United States, and Guidepost Solutions LLC, a global leader in investigations, compliance solutions, monitoring, and security and technology consulting, announced that the two firms have been selected to jointly perform integrity monitoring for the construction of Terminals 1, 4, and 6 – a key facet of the John F.

McShane, President, Monitoring and Investigations at Guidepost Solutions. “Through this alliance with CohnReznick, we are excited to bring world-class compliance and monitoring capabilities to this historic, multi-billion-dollar Port Authority project.”
