On August 25th 2015 Co-Founder of OXYwater Preston J. Harrison and his Wife Lovena Harrison were sentenced for Wire Fraud, Money Laundering and Tax Crimes. (Investor Claims, August 2015). I chose this case because it has many different types of fraud, including wire fraud, money laundering, and tax fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, concealment of fraud, theft and misappropriation of funds. What makes this case so interesting is that the husband and wife co-owners of OXYwater are not the only criminals. Their co-conspirator was Thomas E. Jackson;

Yes. Occupational fraud and abuse is the use of one's occupation for personal enrichment through the dileberate misuse or misapplication of the employing organizations resources or assets. Since this jacket belonged to them that means I took one of their assets which, as mentioned above, is key to committing occupational fraud and abuse.

Dixon, Illinois is a small town of about 16,000 people (US Census, 2015) located approximately 100 miles southwest of Chicago. Until 2012, Dixon’s claim to fame was being the town where, 40th President of the United States of America, Ronald Reagan grew up (City of Dixon). Today, in addition to hosting a future president for 22 years (City of Dixon), Dixon, IL is known as the location of the largest and longest municipal fraud in United States history (Mathieson, 2014). This paper will examine the main players in the fraud; how the fraud was carried out; the laws and procedures violated; the impact of the fraud; and the measures that could have been taken to prevent it.

Strategies will be formulated and progress will be evaluated with adjustments as necessary. The strategic plan for the organization will be developed by the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors with input from all stakeholders including patients, volunteers, physicians, employees, and community members. The strategic plan is based on the issues that are considered to be most critical in support of cost effective, high-quality care and services. Many of the strategic imperatives are important related to building trust through external agencies that rate the quality of care provided. High ratings are critical for the organization to maintain trust and support in the community served.

Building upon the knowledge gained in its previous attempts, over the next several years, IHC went about creating the infrastructure necessary to support such a model. IHC reorganized its management teams to include “a clinical administrative structure to be the clinical counterpart of the administrative structure at each level of the organization” (Bohmer, 2002). Guidance Councils (consisting of a physician leader and nurse manager) were formed for each clinical program and were responsible for coordinating program goals, management strategies and data collection across the system. Within the Guidance Councils were interdisciplinary Development Teams who identified “the key work processes and medical conditions for which protocols should be developed”, then created, implemented and refined said protocols (Bohmer, 2002). This was made possible by engaging practicing physicians (who were wisely reimbursed for their time) in the process, which gave them both the direct experience of the systems they created (be it paper or computer) and a provided feedback loop within the clinical community. Furthermore, IHC created a culture around process improvement, organizing “everything around value-added (front line) work processes” while offering “extensive training in clinical process improvement” as well as operational process improvement (Clark, 2010).

As our technology changes so do we, and so does the world of criminal activities. There are people out there who can steal from you using computers and the internet. What do we have that can protect us from these types of criminal actions? There several different laws that protect U.S. citizens from cybercrime, one that comes to mind is The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). There are seven subsections, but we are going to focus on Subsection 1030. Subsection 1030 is theft of finical information, this law protects citizens from cyber trespassing, threats, damage, and fraud (Cornell Law School, 2017). This law protects citizens from hackers stealing their money, or causing a lot of economic damage.

When I was reading Exodus 20:1-17 and focusing on verse 15-16 one of the business crimes that came to mind was theft and embezzlement because in verse 15 it states that thou should not steal and that means for no one and for anything. When an employee commits embezzlement that means they decided to take money from the company or business without their knowledge. For example if an employee is using the company’s money to fund trips or even by taking money just for the intent to take is considered stealing a embezzlement. Criminal fraud and commercial bribery both conceded with verse 16, which stated, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”. Which truly means that speaking falsely in any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing

Combating fraud in the private sector is a difficult task. Trying to combat fraud in the public sector is daunting. In 1999 15.7% of the American workforce were employed by a government entity (federal, state, and local).[1] Mirroring society, government will have its share of perpetrators. The difference from the private sector is in the scope of the fraud committed, the loss of the public trust, the blaring headlines from news media, and difficulty in making necessary changes to combat the problems.

The perfect fraud storm occurred between the years 2000 and 2002 involving two of the largest energy and telecom corporations in the United States: Enron and WorldCom. It was determined that both organizations fraudulently overstated assets, created assets from expenses or overstated revenues, costing investors billions of dollars and resulting in both organizations declaring bankruptcy (Albrecht, Albrecht, Albrecht & Zimbelman, 2012). Nine factors contributed to fraud triangle creating this perfect fraud storm, and assisting management in concealing the fraud until exposed and rectified.

A business can not work out without an account system, which includes internal. Internal controls are used by companies to make sure financial information is accurate and valid. Strong internal controls are signs of a financially healthy company and protect the company’s integrity. Strong internal controls can also increase a company’s profitability. There are several types of internal controls that companies used to protect themselves such as: Segregation of duties, asset purchases, supervisor review, internal audits and adequate documents and records. This paper will discuss several topics from a case study about And the Fraud
