When a law enforcement officer or other public employee is accused of potentially criminal conduct, they may face three different kinds of interviews or interrogations. If an officer is interviewed as a criminal suspect, they have the absolute right to decline to answer any questions, or to insist that they have a lawyer of their choosing to attend the interview. The first is type is during a criminal investigation; the second is during a disciplinary investigation and finally during the course of civil litigation where there has been damages. During a criminal interview, there is no professional, ethical or moral duty to participate especially without the assistance of an attorney to represent the officer under investigation. It has come to a surprise that many experienced officers will waive their right to silence and give the investigators an audio recorded statement. Some of the inexperienced criminals do not make incriminating statements. The motive for cooperation is to avoid unfavorable publicity.

Abel Fields a 39-year-old resident of a city in California, was convicted under the Stolen Valor Act. He was convicted under that act because he claimed that he was in the military and that he received medals while serving, which is not true. He was found guilty and they sentenced him to pay a fine of $1,000 dollars. After that, he appealed his decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing that the Stolen Act was unconstitutional and that the First Amendment had been violated. Fields’s prosecutors argued that “a lie told about oneself and one’s own accomplishments is easier to reverse through other speech. Indeed, in Mr. Fields’s case, an effective way to reverse Mr. Fields’s falsehoods is to simply point out his lie.” Afterwards, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in his favor. Over time, people are starting to see how people, states and even the court violate their First Amendment rights. First we have the case of The New York Times who printed an advertisement where it clearly was accusing the Alabama police department of misdeeds. The police commissioner, L. B. Sullivan sued New York Times and their writers for the advertisement. The case became to be known as the New York Times Co. V. Sullivan (1963) case. After the case went to court, the judgement in favor of Sullivan had to be overturned, and New York Times could not be convicted of libel. What this demonstrate about the right of making false statements is that in order for someone to be

The chief executive of the company was closely working with the vendors whose confirmations were vital in the auditing work and hence they could have submitted false confirmations. The auditing firm established a national risk management program for its clients and so national reviews were done to identify the high risk items in the financial statement. The vendor allowances were particularly high but they were not documented. As such, the auditors were supposed to demand for the documentations and compare them with the real figures. It is however noted that most of the documentations received were non-standard and this could have led to a different audit report given that vendor allowances were earlier identified as a high risk area. Inventory management was found to be poor especially in the allowances for inventory reserves. The audit firm was therefore obliged to carry out a thorough evaluation of the inventory reserves and determine whether it was reasonable. The valuation was also supposed to include all classes of inventory but for the case of the company, the evaluation excluded instances where no sales had been made. Hence, this evaluation could not accurately represent the position of the inventory reserve in the company. (Waters,2003)
