Robert Levin, the AMRE executive and major stockholder, and Dennie D.Brown, the company’s chief accounting officer, were subject to the punishment in the form of a huge amount of fine by the SEC and the federal government. This punishment came from reasons. After AMRE going public, the company have the obligation to publish its financial reports but its performance did not meet expectation. The investigation by SEC shows that Robert took the first step of this scam, fearing the sharp drop of AMRE’s stock price because of the poor performance of company. He abetted Brown, to practice three main schemes to present a false appearance of profitable and pleasant financial reports. Firstly, they instructed Walter W.Richardson, the company’s vice president of data processing, to enter fictitious unset leads in the lead bank and they originally deferred the advertising cost mutiplying “cost per lead” and “unset leads” amount, so that they deferred a portion of its advertising costs in an asset account. The capitalizing of advertising expenses allowed them to inflate the net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1988. Secondly, at the end of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1988, they added fictitious inventory to AMRE’s ending inventory records, and prepared bogus inventory count sheets for the auditors. Thirdly, they overstated the percentage

Johnny should always act according to the fundamental principles of APES 110 and should always perform

The court of appeal in Akindele briefly referred to a new approach to the personal liability of a recipient known as the unjust enrichment approach. This approach does not disregard the issue of dishonesty entirely, rather it restricts the issue of dishonesty to the application of the change of position defence in that only an innocent recipient can avail themselves of this defence .

Graham I see that we disagree with whom should win the case, but I understand where you are coming from. Enterprise was paying and improving the property so it makes me wonder why Jane wanted to evict them after one year. Jane was probably trying to make a profit from someone else or selling the property. Yes business is business but morally she didn’t have to break the oral lease. Sometimes we need to go back to shaking hands and keeping our word. The textbook states, “That the Statute of Frauds requires certain contracts to be in writing and signed by the defendant to be enforceable against the defendant” (Lau, 2012, p. 187).

This thesis is written to provide a historical and policy evaluative perspective on the topic of the False Claims Act and it’s Qui Tam provisions. The False Claims Act is a fairly old Act, dating back to 1863. The Act was first enacted to fight procurement fraud but in recent years the focus has turned to health care fraud. This thesis will seek to determine whether or not the False Claims Act and it’s Qui Tam provisions are an effective tool in fighting fraud, in particular health care fraud. The focus of this thesis will be to evaluate the False Claims Act (FCA) and in particular its Qui Tam provisions. A closer look will be taken at the emergence of a very lucrative type of fraud in the United States. This type of fraud has only been on

AICPA Code of Professional Conduct principles prevents vises such as fraud that are experienced in accountancy field. Audit is the best measure of the effect of the fraud that are imposed to investors by accountants. The relationship of the investors and account holders are supposed to be affirmed through auditing to ensure accounting principles are upheld(Weirich, Pearson, & Churyk, 2010). Improper loss of the funds through propagation of the accountant officer should be treated as fraud and criminal activity that should lead to prosecution. Therefore, the paper seeks to relate two fraud cases that have been audited and presenting AICPA Code of

Related party transactions throughout the history of accounting tell the tale of fraud and intent to deceive. While many related party transactions are carried out without the intent to commit fraud with the misrepresentation of financial reporting, these are not the stories that have led to the AICPA’s clarified standard on auditing, AU C 550 Related Party Transactions, effective for all audits after December 2012, and the PCAOB’s AS 18, Related Parties, issued in June 2014. An understating of the evolution of guidance and rulings as applicable to related party transactions is necessary to evaluate whether the risk associated with such transactions can be mitigated through the audit process, or if tougher penalties should be put in place to make the rewards for management less attractive and the punishment equally something to be avoided.
