1. What clues caused Jane to suspect that fraud was involved? The first clue that Jane came across as suspicious was that some of the checks did not have a complete endorsement from the collectors. This would be suspicious because if a check was cashed without having the necessary endorsements there must be a breach in the company’s internal controls. After looking further into the situation Gus and Jane notice that along with the endorsement problem the signatures of several different…

Yes, I believe that Bernard Madoff had help in this Ponzi scheme. I so believe that this Ponzi scheme could be master minded by one person. For example, Charles Ponzi, who back in the early 20th century master minded the first Ponzi scheme with postage stamps. Now it was amazing how he did it, because the lesson suggests that no one in the company he worked for picked up on his scheme for over 30 Years. This suggest to me that he had help. The mere fact that his company’s financial reports…

The topic is my last couple days working with Janis Tipton and the circumstances…

The nonprofit accounting system can be complicated- the organization must be able to have a system which will provide internal users with information to make decisions while conforming the general accounting principles for outside agencies such as the IRS. What complicates things is the reality that leadership and board members have varying levels of accounting/financial knowledge. One…

On July 6th, 2013, Asiana Airline Flight 214, a Boeing 777, impacted with the sea wall while on approach to runway 28L into San Francisco International Airport.
