    Fraud Case Analysis Rita Crundwell started working for the City of Dixon’s finance department as a high school student, but she eventually became the city’s treasurer and comptroller in 1983. Seven years after her appointment, she began a twenty-two-year fraud scheme that enabled her to embezzle approximately $54 billion dollars from the taxpayers she was serving. To embezzle the municipality’s funds unnoticed, Crundwell discretely opened a bank account at the Fifth and Third Bank where city’s bank accounts were housed. She listed the bogus account as the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account (RSCDA) Reserve Fund. Soon after, Crundwell began transferring funds from various accounts to increase the Capital Development Fund account.…

    Peregrine Fraud Case Study

    • 1216 Words
    • 5 Pages

    1) At Peregrine, the risk factors, especially those aligned with control environment factors and the “tone at the top” are discussed. The risks included having a paper based confirmation system for the entire business; no segregation of duties, which meant that only one or very few people were working on the financial statements, and in this case Mr. Wasendorf was the only one and had altered all bank documents using only Photoshop, excel, scanners, and printers. Continuing on, time off was not required at Peregrine, which could have ultimately discovered this fraud much earlier, by allowing someone else to sit in the absentee’s seat and review all of their work. Additionally, Peregrine lacked internal auditors or an audit committee at the time. The presence of the internal auditors could have decreased odds of misstatement incentives to commit fraud by management, called fraudulent financial reporting, and overseen…

    I believe that the auditors in this case, Ernst & Whinney, should have great blame in not having the sufficient information and knowledge to fall into the pressure of the bribes committed by Minkow and analyze the fraud that was occurring. The upper management in ZZZZ Best made the financial information seem perfectly fine, therefore the auditors were unable to identify any miscalculations that would then lead to fraud. Minkow and his company for years kept on staling the fact that his insurance business had an actual positive cash flows system occurring. This would keep the auditors from seeing the main problem concerning the fraud that was started from the very beginning by Minkow and his carpet/insurance business. As this wasn’t enough fake information conducted by…
