During this same period, DHB learned thatZylon deteriorated rapidly when exposed to light, heat, and body perspiration. DHB knew that oneof its competitors, Second Chance Body Armor, had stopped using Zylon in its vests and, eventually, discontinued its business because customer demand for its Zylon-based vests had evaporated.DHB did not write down its own inventory of Zylon and Zylon-based vests because it had a largecontract to supply the U.S. military with bulletproof vests.

- One of the largest losses in history from unauthorized securities trading involved a securities trader for the French bank Societe Generale. The trader was able to circumvent internal controls and create more than $7 billion in trading losses in six months. The trader apparently escaped detection by using knowledge of the bank’s internal control systemslearned from a previous back-office monitoring job. Much of this monitoring involved the use of software to monitor trades. In addition, traders were usually kept to tight trading limits. Apparently, these controls failed in this case.What general weaknesses in Societe Generale’s internal controls contributed to the occurrence and size of the losses?arrow_forwardThe following paragraphs describe fraudulent accounting committed by the company Rite-Aid in 1999. After reading the paragraphs, list the journal entries you think Rite-Aid would have used to do what is described here. You will have to make an educated guess as to what journal entries the company would use to cover up the fraud. In the fourth quarter of FY 1999, Rite Aid prematurely recognized $17 million relating to a litigation settlement with a vendor. Rite Aid should not have recognized this sum in that period because the settlement offer was expressly contingent upon the execution of a formal settlement agreement which did not take place until May 20, 1999. Moreover, the litigation settlement was also contingent upon the execution of a purchasing agreement that was not finalized until May 18, 1999. Both of these contingencies were expressly stated in the February 26, 1999 letter of intent signed by Grass.arrow_forwardThe Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) asserts that three factors can explain fraud.

You will have to make an educated guess as to what journal entries the company would use to cover up the fraud. From at least the first quarter of FY 1998 through the first quarter of FY 2000, Rite Aid also made improper adjusting entries known as "gross profit" entries. This practice had the effect of lowering cost of goods sold and accounts payable. These entries caused material overstatements of Rite Aid's net income in each quarterly period in which they were made. In the second quarter of FY 1999, for example, Rite Aid improperly reduced cost of goods sold and accounts payable by approximately $100 million. As a result of these "gross profit" entries alone, Rite Aid overstated pre-tax income by $100 million in the second quarter of FY 1999. In each of the relevant…arrow_forward
