I am currently taking a fraud examination course and I need to know of a company that has recently had fraud in their workplace. here is the information about the paper I must complete. Any suggestions for a business would be great!

Accounting Fraud Project

You should select a company that has recently incurred one of the following problems: restatement of earnings; indictment or conviction of one or more of the company’s officers or board members for fraud; under SEC enforcement review; and/or alleged to have committed an act of accounting fraud, accounting mismanagement, or accounting irregularity.

There are several items you should address in your paper on a company you have selected.

1.A brief description of your company. Age, market share, plans for the future, major products and other companies owned by this parent.
2.A brief review of income statement, statement of cash funds flow, and balance sheet. This means to compare at least three years worth of data. Three years provides the opportunity to describe the changes incurred during that period. For example, supposed you are dealing with 2006, 2005, and 2004. Therefore you can describe the change incurred between 2005 and 2006 & 2004 and 2005.
3.Describe the nature of the infraction or accounting irregularity.
4.Describe the RED FLAGS that were available prior to the discovery of the accounting problem(s). What internal control procedures, if any, were violated?
5.Briefly mention any internal control recommendations you would propose to the Board of Directors.
6.Describe the nature of any incentives offered to management to promote corporate stock price appreciation. Make sure you address the overall compensation packages of at least the CEO and CFO. Were there any insiders trading on the stock during the period of conflict? Discuss the how the structuring of pay and incentives either did or did not contribute to the motivation behind the fraud.
7.Were Board members qualified to be on the board? Make sure you address the Audit Committee members in particular. Please name the qualified financial expert.
8.Briefly comment on the “Tone at the Top” for the company you selected.
9.Does Sarbanes-Oxley, FASB, PCAOB, AICPA, Federal Security Laws or SEC rules, address the accounting irregularity you have described in your paper? Explain your answer.

Thanks!

I could include the democrats in Congress, but then I would have a veritable novel on my hands.
liberal Lola? That makes no friggin sense whatsoever. You need to reboot that liberal air head of yours.

mother lies about the date of birth so that she can prolong the child support the child will be 19 in february 2010 and she lied and stated that the child will be 19 december 2010

just answer yes or no, and give your 2 cents. I asked a question earlier and received an answer from a user named annie. She told me that my profession was a fraud, and she could prove it. She has a link to a bankrate.com article. What Annie does not realize, and that prompted this question of my own. Is that there are major differences between "Brokers" and "Registered Investment Advisers"
The latter , is held to a legal responsibility to provide service that is in the clients best interests. That means I have a fiduciary duty to my clients, that is legally binding. . .
Brokers…are connectors of people and product. they do not provide planning… they do not provide a written plan with instructions. . at the top of your statement if your account is a "Brokerage Acct" you have a broker…not an "advisory acct"
this is a huge misnomer…brokers advertise they provide planning, but they do in fact…not. http://www.financial-planning.com/pubs/fp/20060501011.html
false fiduciary

What should a person do if someone started opening credit cards and paying the minimum balances using your information (name, ss #, DOB, etc.) an d you have a police report and reported it to the credit bureaus BUT one credit card company still is calling you and basically harrassing you for their money? When you tell them that I was frauded and that I have police reports they dont care. They say "what kind of con pays the minimum payment". They will not leave me alone. I even have a fraud alert put on with the three credit bureaus.Should they get a lawyer? Are there such lawyers?

I’m doing a report on phishing that leads to identity theft.
I want to know about the current status of phishing and identity theft.
Answers would be appreciated.

I watched 60 minutes sunday and they said HACKERS ARE STEALING 100S OF MILLIONS A DAY BY STEALING ON LINE. I think hackers and people who steal identities should be given the immediate death penalty.
Sorry Doctari, I have no idea what teh Pron is and for your info, I shop in stores, not online.

A. There has been a case of child abuse. B. There has been an instance of health care fraud C. A patient has shown symptoms of domestic violence victimization. D. A patient is unhappy with something the doctor did or failed to do.

But people from foreign countries, can come here illegally,..get on the welfare rolls, and we welcome them with open arms..this is NOT fair to people who did at one time pay taxes. and I don’t mind if MY taxes help poor families out here..but why does the government go after American families, for fraud on Welfare, and ignore the fact that the Illegals who have crawled up here, …get all the benifits, and are criminals
Here’s what I mean John…Yes, welfare recipients should get busted for frauding the welfare dept…and not reporting money..but illegal immigrants…who shouldn’t be here anyway, who are here illegally, which constitutes criminal activity, get welfare in the first place..this is very unfair. Either let the ones here break the law also, or end it all, as was said.

This is suppose to be a democracy but it seems to be just a capitalistic country where monopolies like the Sugar Industry are allowed to artificially raise the price of sugar without any real compensation to the consumers and companies who use it as part of their industry such as bread makers.
I just recieved a political phone call whose agenda seemed to be only trying to figure out what would motivate the people to allow a tax increase while locally people are loosing jobs and houses. Also all the questions were no yes answers along with very biased such that surely if a poll were made from it the poll would be very skewed not representing my non no or yes answers which they translated to yes or no even if the response was neither yes or no so that shows how truthful & accurate polls are along with the agenda of politicians being to raise taxes for their own benefits instead of cutting all the waste, fraud and abuse such as supporting companies who are fraud stock companies and oil
Mexico and Canada along with other countries will not allow us to go live in their countries otherwise I would be in Canada because they have socialized medical care.
Recently the companies which synthesize vitamins were found to have formed a monopoly to prevent competition so that they could keep prices high. All that they did was give them a fine not give back the money to the people who paid for the high price of those vitamins put in things like children’s cereal. Locally the oil industry has oil wells full of oil sitting along with President Bush has been buying oil to put into salt mines. There ain’t no shortage and won’t be for a long time. If Bush cared about conserving long ago he would have funded vehicles that get up to 300 mpg in regards to equivalent energy usage that are battery run.

I am going back to court in a couple of weeks and am expecting 9-12 months in jail for theft and fraud – stupid stuff I did but didn’t hurt anyone.

I planned on joining the army before and would still like to if I could. I thought people used to be allowed do this but my lawyer says it doesn’t happen like that any more. Do you think it should?

What lessons can we learn from the corporate accounting fraud by Qwest Corp. from 1999-2002?

We own a little resturant and it was broken into last night. A couple hundred dollars was stolen, but what I am worry about is that we have alot of bank statements and resturant information that we have at the resturant. All of these information was on the ground and all over the place when we got to the resturant in this morning. Should we worry about identity theft because there was alot of these letters and I dont even know if some was even taken. How do should we fix this if our identity in exposed?

What should I do if I knew people committing fraud? They file fax w2’s each yr and here i am stuck paying back each yr for making too much money, these people are unemployeed and has never had a job. And then have the nerve to get mad because they got less this yr than last and is collecting welfare child care money and has no supervision, watching or baby sitting no one child this is a 2,200 a month and got supposely 1,800 in taxes.
What do i do?
It makes me mad because i work hard and sometimes to tired to go and have fun and here they sit on their a**es and get paid.
I think the system should hire me and others to go to the homes of everyone on welfare and if working, fraud, have babies dad or others there boot them out.
WELFARE IS FOR ASSITANCE NOT FOREVER!!
1-2yrs max and your a** is off no matter what, it does not take more than 2 yrs to get your sh** 2gether, then the people who needs it can’t get on or get it. OUR SYSTEM IS F**KED
Co-worker I don’t know what state you are in and i know no no one who works on welfare, yeah if the people got who need it would be ok, it’s the healthy lazy ass people who take advantage of the system, again not ASSISTANCE NOT FOREVER!! maybe it’s cool for you to get up and work everday while your friends r chilling collecting money off part of your earned taxes I am not.
Co-worker Ms.RD the NE. wazz told it:)

the Dr. said it was by "accident" but it was still happening that he would mark off services on the docuscan. Isnt that ins. fraud? can i get in trouble if i bill something that was charged but not done?

On saints row 2 where are the two locations to do insurance fraud? the activities on my map are noted with a ? so it’s hard to say.

Okay, so here’s my problem. I am very careful with my ID, numbers etc but last time I called my mother she says people from places I would never do bissness with are asking for me at her number. (No I don’t live with her.) I’m really new to what to do, because I figured if I was super careful I wouldn’t have to learn. I know your supposed to report something stolen, (Wallet etc.) except I have that still. If it was stolen, it had to be during a move or by someone in my house while I was asleep. I’m already in debt with other things, and ID fraud does not help matters. I’m already living with a friend because I can’t seem to find a job, so I’m too poor for a lawyer. What do I do?

Abusive prison officer Gary Bridge escapes jail sentence
7:41am Saturday 27th June 2009

By Megi Rychlikova »

A FORMER prisoner cried out in disbelief as the ex-prison guard tormentor who turned her freedom into a years-long nightmare walked free from court.

Gary Bridge, 55, got to know the woman while he was a prison officer at Askham Grange Prison where she was an inmate serving time for fraud, Sharon Beatie for the Crown Prosecution Service told York Crown Court.

He broke prison service regulations forbidding relationships between guards and prisoners and continued seeing her after she was released.

In the years that followed, he, among other incidents:

* Held an air rifle to her face and threatened “I am going to kill you, you are going to get it” while her daughter watched.

* Falsely imprisoned her in her home while he interrogated her for hours about her personal life and repeatedly swung a claw hammer towards her head.

* Broke her arm with a champagne bottle.

* Bugged her telephone line and recorded her calls.

* Sprayed CS gas in her face.

* Grabbed her round the neck.

But because he had not committed similar offences against other women before or afterwards and was suffering at the time from two mental illnesses which were exacerbated by his sacking from the prison service over his relationship with the former prisoner, Recorder Paul Sloan QC did not make him serve a 16-month prison sentence.

“Because of the combination of circumstances, which I regard as exceptional, I am prepared to suspend the sentence,” the judge said.

He said the mental illnesses were post-traumatic stress syndrome caused by “dreadful experiences at work” and severe depression resulting from the break-up of Bridge’s 20-year-old marriage.

Bridge, of Ripley Castle village, near Harrogate, pleaded guilty to falsely imprisoning the woman, threatening to kill her, affray and three charges of actual bodily harm. Two charges of raping the woman, which he denied, were left on file which means they will appear on his criminal record, but not as convictions. He must pay £500 towards the prosecution costs.

After the judge suspended the prison sentence for two years, the woman, who at one time lived near York and later near Selby, cried out in distress and left the public gallery.

Miss Beatie said the offences occurred between 2001 and 2004.

For Bridge, solicitor advocate Richard Reed said since the relationship ended Bridge had overcome his mental illnesses, got a new job, and was now in a stable relationship.

Who decides between felony and misdemeanor?

Why don’t I have a say in it? I was the victim.

i have several different relatives that have recent broken some massive moral laws such as commiting murder, sexual misconduct with a minor, arsen, and fraud. i know how bad all these are but still my heart weeps for them knowing that for some reason they felt they had to cross those lines. my sister says that she can no longer belong to a family this messed up and for my kids sake i should also walk away. but it doesnt feel right to me.
i want to understand why they felt they had to do all they have done. i want them to know that i dont approve and that i wont be letting them babysit within this lifetime, but that i wont turn my back on them. can i be disappointed in them while being understanding all without being immoral. i feel really bad for those that were hurt but there is nothing i can do for them. i do want to help my family heal the pain within them that caused them to go from extremely good kids to monsters. i want to know what changed them so the pain can end.
they are all in jail now… it is after jail i am refering. my other family wants to turn away but i think that after these members do their time that they will need family and that turning our backs on them at that point would then be a mistake on our part because you dont run from those in need . our family somehow failed them once and i feel that whatever we didnt do that made them turn bad,,,we now need to help fix. if we turn away then i would feel like i single handedly failed them again

my father owes my mother back child support which the sate is now taking out of his pay, he has asked my mother to sign her rights away to the money, he owes this he never paid a dime,he and his girlfriend have threated to press fraud charges against my mother b/c my brother no longer lives there (we’re all above 18), my father also signed his rights away to my brother 4 years ago (my brother now lives with him).so my question is can he press fraud charges or even sue my mother and what can my mom do to protect what is rightfully hers. answers and websites would be great, i have a feeling this is going to get ulgy

To add to the grief, she told local auth. that the check she issued was fraud and filed a ceast and desist in contacting her w/ a lawyer. (We were trying to collect a debt) We are planning to take her to small claims, any steps we need to cover to make it successful? Please advise.
