Vignette 6.3 DEAD-END JOB
Following several reports of internal control problems in an insurance company, an internal auditor interviewed several junior managers in the claims department, The remarks of an apparently bright man in his early thirties were as follows: "I came here 5 years ago believing all the hype about long-term career opportunities and the corporate mission statement about building employee loyalty. But I haven't seen any of it yet. Until recently, I worked hard because I basically like the insurance business. But I get no recognition. Our annual evaluations are a joke. My boss catches me in the hall and asks that I sign the evaluation because it has to be in that afternoon. If I get to see the evaluation at all, it's a glance through the form while he drinks from the water fountain. Apart from one time when we went on a trip together, he has never sat down with me and given me any feedback. Of course, it's not altogether his fault. He has to attend all those meetings…

She had a real problem and wasn’t sure what to do next. She had a lot of confidence in Jack Reed, but she suspected she was about the last person in the office who did. Perhaps if she ran through the entire story again in her mind she would see the solution. Susan had been distribution manager for Clarkston Industries for almost twenty years. An early brush with the law and a short stay in prison had made her realize the importance of honesty and hard work. Henry Clarkston had given her a chance despite her record, and Susan had made the most of it. She now was one of the most respected managers in the company. Few people knew her background. Susan had hired Jack Reed fresh out of prison six months ago. Susan understood how Jack felt when Jack tried to explain his past and asked for another chance. Susan decided to give him that chance just as…arrow_forwardMINISCRIBE (LO 1, 2) As reported in the Wall Street Journal (September 11, 1989), MiniScribe, nc., inflated its reported profits and inventory through a number of schemes designed to fool the auditors. At that time, MiniScribe was one of the major producers of disk drives for personal computers. The newspaper article reported that MiniScribe used the following techniques to meet its profit objectives: • An extra shipment of $9 million of disks was sent to a customer near year-end and booked as a sale. The customer had not ordered the goods and ultimately returned them, but the sale was nor reversed in the year recorded. • Shipments were made from a factory in Singapore, usually by air freight. Toward the end of the year, some of the goods were shipped by cargo ships. The purchase orders were changed to show that the customer took title when the goods were loaded on the ship. However, title did not pass to the customer until the goods were received in the U.S. • Returned goods were recorded as usable inventory. Some were shipped without any repair work performed. • MiniScribe developed a number of just—in—time warehouses and shipped goods to them from where they were delivered to customers. The shipments were billed as sales as soon as they reached the warehouse. For each of the techniques described, identify the audit evidence that might have enabled the auditor to uncover the fraud.arrow_forward

Claude Meyer, assistant to thecontroller for Hunt Manufacturing, wore one of the gloomy faces that were just emerging from the conferenceroom. “Wow, I knew it was bad, but not that bad,” Claude thought to himself. “I don’t look forward to sharingthose numbers with shareholders.”The numbers he discussed with himself were fourth-quarter losses which more than offset the profits of the firstthree quarters. Everyone had known for some time that poor sales forecasts and production delays had wreakedhavoc on the bottom line, but most were caught off guard by the severity of damage.Later that night he sat alone in his office, scanning and rescanning the preliminary financial statements on hiscomputer monitor. Suddenly his mood brightened. “This may work,” he said aloud, though no one could hear.Fifteen minutes later he congratulated himself, “Yes!”The next day he eagerly explained his plan to Susan Barr, controller…arrow_forward
