The following paragraphs describe fraudulent accounting committed by the company Gateway. After reading the paragraphs, list the journal entries you think 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. On September 21, 2000, Gateway's sales representative sent an e-mail to the consumer leasing company confirming that the consumer leasing company would issue a purchase order for $16.5 million of PCs, for which it would receive a 5% discount, that the consumer leasing company would be billed by September 30, 2000 and would take the PCs by October 31, 2000.
CASE: You are a fraud expert and have been asked to investigate possible wrongdoing at a local nonprofit organization. You suspect that one of the workers, Stacey, has been embezzling money. After securing enough evidence to be very confident of Stacey's guilt, you speak with the president of the organization, Jamie. Jamie assures you that Stacey could be doing nothing wrong, that she has known Stacey for years, and Stacey is a good person. Further, she indicates that because of her relationship with Stacey, even if something were going wrong, no action would be taken with respect to the potential fraud. QUESTIONS: 1)How do you respond to Jamie? How do you explain to her what is at stake? 2) What monitoring and control systems should have been in place at Jamie's organization to prevent such a behavior? Explain. 3)Would you recommend an ethics audit to this company? Why?
