An employee of my client company, Saudi Airline Catering (SAC), embezzled $24,300 through a scheme that had gone undetected until discovery by an accountant after this employee made a claim that Saudi Airlines had deducted $6,000 from his salary. The employee, Adam, was not approached by SAC about the embezzlement to pay the money back. Instead, a spokesperson for SAC claimed that this employee would likely refuse to acknowledge his criminal behavior, so my client, SAC, decided to go ahead and try to recoup the money through deducting it from his salary. In addition, SAC intended to black list Adam from procuring commissions for sales on future SA flights because of his embezzlement crime. Yet, when suggested that SAC pursues a legal action against Adam, SAC declines to pursue the matter in a Saudi courtroom because of the supposed hassles entailed in doing so and the length of time it would take to convict Adam of this crime and force him to repay the money he stole from SAC. However, by taking this suggested action, it is evident that Adam will possibly take up a lawsuit against SAC for deducting that amount of money from his salary and blacklisting him from receiving any future sales commissions. In addition, this employee may charge SAC with any number of violations of their legal relationship by seizing this kind of money from his salary and suspending his sales commissions based on the assumption that he embezzled the money. If this legal development

Air travel has its ups and down, as does basically any type of travel. However, Southwest Airlines has always been my favorite airline to fly. As a young single who loved traveling, I found their fares and schedules to be the most convenient for my taste. I always appreciated the staff’s sense of humor, and it really never bothered me where I sat, so I didn’t mind the “A, B, C” boarding groups as opposed to assigned seats: I actually appreciated the freedom of choice. It wasn’t until after a couple of marketing classes that I realized the things I preferred about Southwest were intentional marketing strategies that the company used to differentiate
Mary Jane an employee of ABC Manufacturing Inc embezzled more than $400,000 in more than 6 years by check tampering and expense disbursement. Mary Jane has committed an occupational fraud as she as an employee has misused her position for her own enrichment by intentional misappropriation. Mary Jane had gone into credit card fraud, financial statement fraud, and money laundering. Mary Jane altered and cashed checks for thousands of dollars higher than identical check number copies and information recorded in company cash reimbursements files. Mary Jane used a company credit card to pay personal expenses. Other personal expenses were paid with the company credit card including cable TV bills of more than $200 per month. She altered the credit card statements to exclude her personal expenses and made general ledger entries to asset accounts and prepaid items to further conceal the transactions and close the books.
Imagine a situation in which a client under audit by the IRS omitted $100,000 in income. From the e-Activity, examine the major factors relative to the omission by the client that would result in a criminal investigation, rather than a civil fraud proposal by the IRS.
WestJet airlines was founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe, a successful Albertan entrepreneur who was desperate to find a solution to the rising costs of business travel expenses (WestJet, n.d.a). Beddoe combined a small group of Canadian business savvy investors with a regional airline President and together they sought the experience of successful industry leader David Neeleman, founder of Morris Air and developer of the One Skies passenger reservation system (Pederson, 2001). Often referred to as the Southwest Plan, WestJet’s original business model was simple; offer passengers a superior experience at a price that was comparable to driving or taking the bus. This was easily accomplished by operating one type of aircraft, removing excess frills, hiring employees whose personality fit a specific type, and by developing a company culture that focused on safety and taking care of the guests (WestJet, n.d.a.).
The following is my hypothesis in relation to this scenario: Russ Taylor is the employee who committed the embezzlement scheme by conducting business with “Quantic
A recent debate has centred on the issue of strengthening companies’ liabilities for their illegal conducts. To prevent tax evasion, banks and foreign dodgers meet ‘strict liability’ criminal penalties (Wintour 2015). Treanor (2014) reports that if banks fail, new criminal responsibilities will be held by bankers. Accordingly the Curzon and Richards (2007), corporate liability is “the extension of liability for the commission of offenses to companies”. Gooch and Williams (2015) define the corporate crime as “the acts or omissions of a company”. “Corporate criminal liability is the liability imposed upon a corporation for any criminal act done by any natural person” (US legal website [no date]). According to the Convention (1999),
Trends significant to the commercial aircraft are mainly revenue increase. “Since the 1950s, airline yields (defined as the average fare paid by a passenger per kilometer) have consistently dropped” (2015, Aviation). With the competitiveness regarding cheaper flights for customers in order to lure more customers, the industry as a whole as seen a decrease in their revenue. So, in order to increase their revenue, they are constantly offering perks to their customers at an increased rate which will make their flight more enjoyable and also bring revenue to them. Spirit airlines are offering a member club for $9.00 which is allows all members to ride Spirit airlines at a discounted rate. The members club also gives discounts for baggage and any
Those who travel through the skies using the different airline companies, choose their carrier for various reasons. Some consumers are loyal to one airline, others may choose the airline due to price, and then others may choose it based on takeoff and land times, and then there are those who do not have a choice as only one airline services the location they need to arrive at. Regardless of the reason, when we all choose our next airline to travel, the majority of travelers will not choose Southwest Airlines for their heart shaped logo being installed on the seats of their latest 737-800 aircraft built by Boeing (SOUTHWEST, 2016). Southwest employees commit themselves to their jobs and are proud to put on their newest uniform with a heart logo to show every passenger the love they have for their employer. Companies with a good culture can change an employee’s behavior and attitude due to their surroundings and be far more successful, than a company who does not value the work or personal sacrifices their employees make. Sometimes a company’s success can draw attraction from another company looking for a takeover with the intension of increasing their bottom line. When this type of action occurs; they may be two different in the type of industries, just as night is to day, both organizations need to share a common ground to be as successful as they are separately. Nonetheless, there are some investors who would have expected Southwest to buy one the
By October 2002, Southwest Airlines had apparently weathered the initial crisis to the airline industry that resulted from the September 11, 2001 ("9/11") terrorist attacks. Most of the large national carriers had experienced huge losses in demand, profitability and market share, while in contrast Southwest's low-fare operations had thrived, even in the face of declining earnings. Yet, only a year after the attacks, Southwest and the industry in general faced still unknown future changes to its operating environment. There was already a new dynamic of security becoming a priority consideration, and new governmental directives and taxes meant to ensure and maintain that security. This new security dynamic had already
According to Edward de Bono "an expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgments simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and ... Creativity involves breaking out ..." Southwest Airlines has done just that, in a world of high competition and drastic changes they paid close attention to their customers needs, therefore, succeeding when many other airlines were failing. In a time of national tragedy (9-11) this airline pulled together to develop create ideas to prevent them from going through bankruptcy as many of their business rival suffered. With a motto of
Commissary foodservice systems are used in many types of foodservice operations. The airline industry offers a good example of this type of system. This is the most suitable system in the airline industry since air travel is long distance travel and passengers require to eat and drink in the course of their journey. It inappropriate to prepare food in a aeroplane and therefore food should be prepared, pre-plated, sealed, chilled or frozen at a central production facility or near the airport’s premises. When airplane is airborne food is assembled and distributed to the passengers by the stewards. Most airlines apply this system including the British airlines that is renowned for its top class food service onboard. It uses the commissary foodservice system to cater for its passengers and this ensures minimal interruptions and application of safety measures during travels.

Logistics in the aviation industry is not limited to just airplane sales, production operations at the factory level, or parts distribution. It goes beyond to include pre-sale processes, storage, returns management, disposal of excessive inventory, and other supply chain concerns. Reverse logistics defines the course of moving products from end users to manufacturers for recapturing value or desirable disposal. In the aviation industry, a three-step reverse logistics approach may entail customer interaction strategies, transportation, and positioning initiatives, and value redemption plan. With the trend of e-commerce being so ubiquitous, the need for reverse logistics in the aviation industry is even more critical in today’s global world.
