I’m doing another round of interesting search engine queries. Most of these were from Google. Some were from other search engines. But these are the things people are looking for, and it just happens to lead them to this site:
Search: sarbanes oxley act positive benefit
Answer: Not so much. I maintain that there has been little improvement in fraud prevention in companies, at too high a cost from Sarbanes-Oxley. There may have been incremental improvements, but they haven’t offered any significant reduction in fraud so far. (Reflections on Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)
Search: Employee Expense Report theft
Answer: This is an issue that is much more important than most executives and boards of directors realize. They tend to overlook such things, usually because the dollars involved are so low. (And they’re more likely to overlook such theft by an executive, than by a lower level employee, in my experience.) But here’s why it’s important: A small fraud like this is indicative of a culture that tolerates dishonesty. It’s also a sign that there are bigger frauds to come.

Search: fraud blog
Answer: Yes, right here!
Search: tracking unreported income
Answer: Are you committing fraud and looking for a way to keep track of what you’re stealing or concealing? Or are you looking for a way to find out how much income has been unreported? I hope it’s the latter. And it’s hard to do, but it’s possible. (Methods of Searching For Unreported Income)
Search: MAKING MISTAKES DURING DEPOSITIONS
Answer: Yes, it happens. So long as witness (both expert and non-expert) are human beings, mistakes can be made. If you’re still in the deposition and you realize you’ve made a mistake, ask for an opportunity to clarify an earlier answer. If the attorney deposing you does not allow it, the attorney on your side of the case should allow you to do so when he/she has a chance to question you. If you realize the mistake after the deposition, contact the attorney you’re working with and explain the situation so that he/she can decide how best to handle it.

Search: What good came out of enron
Answer: Not a lot. However, it did bring more attention to the issue of fraud, giving those executives who wished to be proactive in the fight against fraud a greater motivation to do so. (Enron: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
Search: tips on being audited
Answer: I have those for you! (Help! I’m Being Audited! Tips For Surviving A Tax Audit)
Search: fraud between family members
Answer: This is very common. (Family Lies: Fraud in Family Business)
