Timecard Fraud Case Study

Decent Essays
The article I found for this this week’s post talks about how the Hanford tank farm temporary worker has consented to pay $5.3 millions to settle claims of timecard fraud at the atomic reservation. The settlement was reported on Thursday by the Department of Justice, about four years after Hanford tank farmer agreed to pay $18.5 million after coming clean to timecard misrepresentation.
After the Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) took over the contract from Hanford, they allowed timecard fraud to still happen and did nothing about it. When the federal government noticed that they were submitting false claims for worker extra minutes work that had not been given as given and other abnormalities they blames Washington River Protection

    John Rapanos Case Digest

    Facts: John Rapanos (petitioner) filled multiple wetlands on his Michigan property with sand and dirt, carrying out plans to develop a shopping center. Despite warnings from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (and subsequent cease-and-desist orders from the EPA) that these wetlands were protected under the Clean Water Act, Rapanos continued his project, resulting in civil and criminal penalties. These wetlands were considered adjacent to a navigable waterway, which makes them covered by the CWA, (a regulation issued by the Army Corps of Engineers). In response to the suits filed against him by the government, Rapanos argued before the District Court that the wetlands on his property are not included under the jurisdiction of the CWA. Rapanos insisted that these wetlands were not considered WOTUS because they were not…

    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…
