By embezzling cash and overstating inventory, they failed to set an ethical tone at the top for their employees and were sending a clear message to their employees that committing fraud was acceptable and needed not to be taken seriously, therefore creating an entire culture of workplace frauds. Moreover, the company’s control environment was deeply undermined by the employment of several immediate relatives and family members as the company’s top management and board of directors. The close relationships among top executives greatly diminished the independence of the board of directors from management and their abilities to exercise oversight of the development and performance of internal control, which caused ineffective monitoring of internal controls and fostered collision among officers and employees to commit…
