    Trueblood Case Analysis 08-9: Fraud and Illegal Acts

    Our project team analyzed the Fraud and Illegal Acts Case (True blood Case Studies- Case 08-9), which involves a questionable sales transaction made between Jersey Johnnie’s Surfboard, an SEC registrant, and Mr. Sinaloa, an independent sales representative of the company. As a simplified overview of the case, an external audit firm was hired on to perform a year-end audit of Jersey Johnnie’s Surfboards, Inc. Towards the end of the audit, the engagement partner notified the auditors that there could be a possibility of fraud and illegal acts made by the company. The engagement partner received a call from the company’s director of ethics and compliance, who stated that an anonymous employee of the company had called into the hotline questioning a sales transaction that seemed suspect. The sales transaction occurred at year-end on December 31, 2010, which seemed suspicious because of the timing of the transaction and effect the transaction had on the year-end figures. Specifically the employee noticed a sales invoice dated December 31, 2010 made out to a Mr. Sinaloa. This transaction was suspect for the employee because the company does not typically recognize revenue associated with products shipped to Mexico until Mr. Sinaloa presents the company with a confirmed sales order.…

    SOX vs. the Brooke Corporation

    The purpose of this article analysis is to identify situations that may lead to unethical practices and behavior in accounting. Brooke Corporation and founder Robert Orr are an example of how Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) laws have not been as effective as most want to believe as based on the article, “Eight Years after the Fact is SOX working? A Look at the Brooke Corporation” by Beth Hazels. Brooke Corporation was, “once the largest franchisors of property and casualty insurance in the United States” (Hazel, p.19) until both company and founder filed for bankruptcy in 2008. Robert Orr and Brooke Corporation committed fraud on their financial statements as well as misappropriated commissions and funds due to their franchisee agents, customers and lenders during their 24-year reign of deceit. Lawsuits alleging anywhere from “fraud and civil racketeering to business valuations and financing were brought up against Brooke corporation and most were dropped. Brooke was also in violation of several SOX laws that have yet to be raised against them” (Hazel, p.23).…

    Eugene V. Debs

    Nick Salvatore's book Eugene V. Debs Citizen and Socialist provides a very detailed account of the life and times and Eugene Debs. Debs was born in Terre Haute Indiana and Salvatore emphasizes the important role that this played in Debs upbringing. Terre Haute was ripe with religious fundamentalism from its founding. Religion permeated everyday life throughout Terre Haute. Salvatore writes that, "In newspaper editorials, political speeches, civic dedications and Sunday sermons they assured the kingdom of God had already arrived and that their town was destined to become the center of the Kingdoms Midwest development." It is striking how the ideals of the Terre Haute community based in religious fundamentalism and a strong industrial economy provided a seemingly Marxist critique of a capitalist system in the 1860's well before Marxist ideas had widely spread to America. Terre Haute's social construct was unique in that there was the undeniable American value of individual achievement stressed but here the role of community was necessary to achieve this. In Terre Haute it was believed that for individual prosperity the progress of the community as a whole was necessary. Salvatore explains this best himself writing, "The individual was firmly wedded to his community by both the bonds of daily life and by the expectations of future success. The ideas of individualism, self-interest and community appeared to meld." This seemingly socialist ideology that man relies on himself and his brethren for progress and success was critical to Debs' formation of his values and ideologies. Even the Superintendent of Terre Haute schools offered this, "If we shall limit the education of the masses and trust the education of the few for directive power and skill we must expect to be ruled by monopolies, demagogues and partisans" Throughout his life Debs constantly fell back on his Terre Hautian upbringing to reinforce his political values…

    Ryden Trucking Q3

    3. There are several standards to comply with when considering the supervisory responsibilities of senior auditing professionals. According to GAAS, the first general standard of ten auditing standards is that the auditing practitioner should have adequate technical training and proficiency as an auditor. Therefore, in this case Marshall had the legal responsibility to provide essential trainings, including technical and ethical issues, to Rojas, regardless whether Rojas would violate the law to conduct criminal activities in the future. Since no information in the passage referred to this point, it is difficult to tell whether Marshall was negligent in training Rojas and other employees. Second, GAAS requires due professional care of auditors when delivering professional services and training. Furthermore, the work should be properly planned and supervised according to the field work standards of GAAS. Additionally, according to AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, accounting professionals should keep integrate and take due care responsibility, as well as cooperating in the profession’s self-regulation, involving testifying another practitioner’s behavior. As a partner, Marshall should exercise reasonable care and keep an eye on Rojas’s work in the Ryden engagement. If he had done so, he might notice some of Rojas’s abnormal behaviors to prevent her illegal embezzlement. Besides, there is not enough information to tell whether other employees from Marshall’s company cooperated with and supervised Rojas in the engagement to stop her from embezzling money from Ryden Trucking. So it is hard to reach a sound conclusion that Marshall had complied with GAAS and AICPA standards and taken full supervisory responsibility to Rojas without…
