Recommended: Dilemma of accountant

TITLE PAGE Name: Divesh Kanwar Student Number: 822-728-176 Course Section: BGMT300 – 1R Ans. 1 Britney MacPherson as the manager of the Winnipeg location of Maple Leaf Shoes is handed over three cases regarding the problems that had occurred in the facility. According to the case the problem that needs to be taken care of first is regarding Paul Bertuzzi warehouse supervisor at the Winnipeg facility. Paul on his training met two other supervisors of different locations who revealed to him a moneymaking scheme of selling the company’s latest shoe designs and production techniques to an overseas shoe manufacturer in return for part-ownership in the business. An auditor of the company discovered about scheme of two warehouse supervisors of other facilities and they were fired. Paul and an employee admitted to be aware of this scheme. This problem is very important to be solved as it is related to the company’s confidential information. The manager needs to look deeply into the problem to find out whether they actually had given any information or they just planned about this scheme. Because in case the information has been leaked the company may have to face disastrous problems as the overseas manufacturer may produce and sell the products at cheaper rates than their company, due to which they may have to plan some new ideas to solve the future problem The Problem that needs the least attention is related to Max MacSweeney a sever year old accountant of the company who has a good repute in the business community. When the company monitored the internet usage of employees, Max was found to be visiting pornographic sites after regular working hours on four different evenings with an average time of 3 hours per visit. He used... ... middle of paper ... ... incident related to misuse of inventory to the manager. He can also be charged of planning to join the scheme later due to which he didn’t reported about the fraud. Ans. 6 The Court can overrule the decision for terminating Paul as he was not involved in the scheme. Due to his honesty he even admitted to be aware of the scheme. Moreover, no fraud was found in his facility and he should be held responsible for the warehouse for which he is in charge. Furthermore, higher management should be held responsible for not keeping an eye on the activities of supervisors at different locations. Ans. 7 From my point of view I would have reported the scheme to senior management. The scheme would have proved very harmful for the whole company and the harm of the company is bad for each and every employee of the company. Many people may have lost their jobs due to this scheme.

  • Wayland Manufacturing Company Fraud Case

    630 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe that asset misappropriation by accounts payable fraud is occurring at Wayland Manufacturing Company due to a lack of proper internal controls. Making the company’s Chief Accountant responsible for additional day-to-day functions provides him with opportunity to commit by creating fictitious vendors with his information and then creating fictitious invoices. Newbaker can then conceal his fraud by approving the invoices for payment. Employees working at an organization for more than five years are more likely to commit fraud. Therefore, Newbaker’s six-year history with the company has made him trustworthy and very knowledgeable, which could indicate involvement in asset misappropriation. The high employee turnover could represent a past fraudster leaving before getting caught or employees refusing to continue with the asset misappropriation. In addition, the varying monthly accounts payable transactions ranging from the lowest being April 2014 and

  • The Controversy Over Internet Pornography

    774 Words  | 2 Pages

    When the car industry comes to mind, you think of Detroit. When oranges come to mind, you think of Florida. When pornography comes to mind, you think of the Internet. Almost everything in today’s society has its place, and the place for the pornography industry is the Internet. Being almost inevitable, pornography has become part of everyone’s Internet experience. Whether its junk e-mail or a nasty pop-up for $3.99 a month subscriptions, its hard to say that there isn’t anyone out there who hasn’t been exposed to Internet pornography in one way or another. One reason for this is the overwhelming size the pornography industry has grown to become. For some, the easy access to the industry has allowed for millions of dollars to be made. For others, this has caused serious problems. Parents who have children know what troubles Internet pornography can bring. Not only do actual pictures and services provide a venue for profits to be made, but software preventing the easy access has became more popular as well.

Instead of the employees receiving direct deposit for that pay period, the company could have printed out every employee’s check from that department for that pay period. This could have led to unclaimed checks which would have led to the discovery of fraudulent employees. Also, having analytical procedures to measure the reasonableness of the Dodgers payroll expense by department might have discovered that certain departments had payroll expenditures that were clearly too excessive. From a company standpoint, having a better budget would have also helped to discover this scheme. There should have been a labor budget which would have helped call attention to the excessive payroll amounts.

  • Pornography And Pornography

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Internet came with an abundant amount of benefits for our civilization as a whole. People became more connected and had the ability to access information they would have otherwise never seen. Yet, there is another side to this connectivity a much more malicious side: pornography. Pornography, typically abbreviated as porn, dominates the internet- as many as 12% of all websites are pornographic and the industry is worth nearly $97 billion . With regards to acceptance, some supported pornographic consumption while others rejected it due to religious or moral beliefs. Porn was considered as something that was not very dangerous.
