However, she is not absolutely sure that anytheft has actually taken place because large portions of the written and computer recordsare missing for unknown reasons. Still, rough calculations, based on total purchases andsales, show that perhaps 20% of the inventory is missing. Mary spoke to her internalauditors and demanded that they give her an explanation, but they said no explanationwas possible without the missing records.What should Mary Soto do? Should she contact the police? Should she hire anexternal forensic accountant? How might a forensic accountant help in this case?Specifically, what could the forensic accountant do that the Mary’s internalauditors could not do?It is unlikely that the police would respond to this situation, since there is nostrong evidence that any fraud has been committed. The police aren’t likely tospend significant amounts of resources without any evidence that any crime hasbeen committed. A forensic accounting consultant might be able to help inreconstructing the records, but in the absence of sufficient records it may beimpossible to ever find out what happened. However, if the fraud is ongoing, theforensic accountant might be helpful in providing sufficient documentation for thepolice to investigate or even make an arrest. The forensic accountant might alsoadvise Mary on how to make proper off-site backups of critical accounting data.13.Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires companies to perform self-assessments of risks for business processes that affect financial reporting.What are some business processes that could result in risks affecting financial reporting?The accounting system itself is a business process. Poor security and weakcontrols in the accounting system could lead to errors or intentionalmiscalculations in reporting. Failures in other business processes could also leadto incorrect financial reporting: internal auditing and management review ofreports.14.List the various elements of fraud within the organization. Give several examples ofeach.This is a thinking question, since the various types of fraud are not discussed inthis chapter. But common sense provides a basic list. Various types of fraudinclude, for example, theft of assets, theft of information, improper purchases, andimproper hiring. Assets can be stolen by their unauthorized conversion to personaluse and embezzlement. Information can be stolen in a variety of ways; examplesof such ways include by smuggling disks out of the office and by emailinginformation to unauthorized. Improper hiring may include, for example, hiringfriends or family without disclosing the relationship, or by hiring friends or familyand improperly inflating their salaries or wage rates.

Givefive examples of ways that forensic accountants use information technology skills.IT skills are very important to the forensic accountant. The main areas of forensicaccounting include auditing and investigation. Both these areas involve computersand information technology. Examples: 1) forensic auditing in an IT environment,3) security consulting, 3) expert testimony in computer crimes, 4) recoveringerased data from computers used in computer crimes, 5) tracing the source of anemail message relating to a computer crime.16.Explain the roles played by forensic accountants in areas besides those relating tofraud.Examples of non-fraud-related forensic accounting roles include valuation,dispute resolution, due diligence in mergers and acquisitions, expert testimony indivorce or bankruptcy proceedings.17.List and explain the most important skills required of forensic accountants.Forensic accountants must be skilled a working with people, withcommunications, must have excellent analytical and investigative skills, and havegood overall accounting skills. Forensic accountants must also have variousspecialized skills, including those in the areas of valuation and expert consultingand expert testimony. Results of investigations and analyses are of little valueunless the forensic accountant is skilled at communicating such results to others.18.What are some special considerations for forensic accountants in working with lawenforcement investigations?Evidence and the chain of custody for evidence must not be compromised in anyway. Suspects’ rights must be protected.19.Westag Mills Company is considering a merger with a competitor. Westag’s CEO hashired a forensic accounting firm to investigate the competitor. What types ofinvestigations could the forensic accounting firm conduct? What types of externalassistance could the forensic accounting firm need?The forensic accountant might investigate the competitor’s financial statementsfor possible fraud. The forensic accountant might also provide valuation estimatesfor the competitor, for assets the competitor proposes to offer in consideration forthe merger. In the case of valuing the competitor’s assets, the forensic accountantmight need to hire specialized appraisers to estimate the value of specific assets.

Why?You could contact either firm first. If your external audit firm is large, there is agood chance it provides forensic accounting services. Further, if the suspectedfraud is likely to materially affect the financial statements, then it is important toat least notify the external audit firm. On the other hand, if your audit firm issmall, it might be best to call your forensic accountant first, though you shouldstill notify your external auditor of any events that could have a material impacton the financial statements.

Suggested points to stress:•General•Chapter 1 should have developed the students’ enthusiasm for forensicaccounting. In that chapter they learned that forensic accountants need specializedskills and knowledge. The logical place to begin with specialized knowledge isthe legal system, since, as students learned, “forensic” refers to legal matters.•This chapter focuses on criminal versus civil procedures, though both arediscussed in parallel. This is because business schools routinely offer business lawcourses, which covers civil procedures. It’s also the authors’ experience that thecriminal side of the law tends to generate more enthusiasm in accounting students,much because of their experience with television shows and movies.•Finally, many courses in law devote little or no attention to trial procedures andrules of evidence. But such information is critical to forensic accountants who arelikely to gather evidence for trials, and possibly serve as expert consultants andwitnesses for trials.•Students can be motivated by explaining to them how expert witnesses can garnerthousands of dollars for a brief amount of court testimony as an expert witness. Ofcourse, accountants have to establish themselves as experts and develop theirexperience and training, but the place to begin is in understanding how the legalprocesses work.•Learning Objectives•LO1: Explain the sources of U.S. law.oThe procedures relating to arrests (e.g., Miranda rights), investigations(e.g., search warrants), and trials (e.g.) are shaped by the Bill of Rights•LO2: Explain the basic structure of the U.S. court systems.oForensic accountants need to be able to work with attorneys, and tocommunicate well with them they need to have some basic understandingof the court systems.oForensic accountants don’t need to be attorneys, but they do need to havea basic understanding of the law.

Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 10 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-2•LO3: Understand the general issues relating to investigations.oThe section covers basic concepts (such as the fraud triangle and chain ofcustody) that are developed more in later chapters.•LO4: Describe arrest and pretrial procedures.oBefore students read this chapter, ask them how they define “beingarrested.” Many will not realize that no arrest really takes place unlessthere is a formal booking process. Some might also be surprised to learnthat one can be charge with a crime (by an indictment or citation) withoutfirst being arrested.•LO5: Explain basic criminal trial procedures.oThe discussion on the rules of evidence is especially relevant to laterchapters. The discussion explains how the expert witness is given aprivileged position in court by being exempted from the personalknowledge rule.•LO6: Describe and contrast and compare various common law financial crimes.oBefore beginning this chapter, ask students to define embezzlement. Thenask them if the secretary for a finance manager commits embezzlementwhen she secretly uses herboss’spassword to send her checks in the mail.She covers up the fraud by using the same account to add false supportingdetails for the payment transactions. This isn’t embezzlement because thesecretary never has legal custody of the funds she steals. The main point isthat student will typically not know the difference between larceny,embezzlement, and, perhaps, robbery.oMany students will be surprised with the degree of criminal liability thatcan derive from participating in a conspiracy.•LO7: Explain various major federal criminal statutes relating to financial crimes.Review Questions1. The usual penalty in a civil case is:a.Monetary damages.b.Imprisonment.c.Equitable relief.d.Any of the above.e.Only a and c.Correct.In civil cases, courts routinely award monetary damages or equitable relief.Imprisonment applies to criminal cases.

Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 16 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-832. Explain the concept of double jeopardy.Double jeopardy is the process of being tried for the same crime twice, which isnot permitted under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, althoughindividuals may be tried separately in state and federal courts for the same crime.Once the jury is seated in a jury trial or when the first witness takes the stand in abench trial, the criminal defendant is said to be in jeopardy and after that point,the defendant cannot be retried for the same crime if there is a verdict of notguilty or the judge33. Explain how the concept of preemption applies when there is a conflict between locallaws, state laws, and federal laws.The general principle of preemption applies to statutory laws: When there is aconflict between federal, state, or local statutes, the statutes of the higher authoritypreempt those of the lower authority. This prevents states making laws thatconflict with U.S. laws. For example, New York could not pass a law thatexempts its citizens from paying U.S. income taxes.34.Discuss how case law evolves. In other words, once a case has been decided, whatwould be the process for changing the result?Case law evolves from appellate decisions. When the appellate decisions disagreefrom one court (or jurisdiction) to the next, theSupreme Courtmay render adecision that resolves the differences between the lower courts.35.Who is responsible for enforcing administrative laws?Enforcement of laws generally falls under the executive branch of government.36.Explain the jurisdictional limitations of the federal courts.Federal courts all have limited jurisdiction. The U.S. district courts try only casesthat involve criminal or civil federal law. The only exception is “diversityjurisdiction,” which means that these courts have jurisdiction over civil disputesbetween citizens of different states for amounts more than $75,000.

Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 17 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-937.Discuss the rights, duties, and obligations of a forensic accountant hired to assist in acivil or criminal investigation.This is a thinking question, since the answer is not explicitly spelled out in thetext. Various rights may be applicable in the court systems, such as the generalrights of those who participate in trials. Duties and obligations include compliancewith applicable laws and regulations, and ethical conduct.38.What are the elements of the fraud triangle?Pressure, opportunity, and rationalization.39.Is a search warrant always required to obtain evidence?No. Evidence in plain sight may sometimes be seized, evidence can be suppliedvoluntarily, and subpoenas instead of search warrants are often used.40.What is the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine?Under the fruits of the poisonous tree doctrine, evidence subsequently obtainedbecause of a defective search warrant or improper procedure can be excludedfrom evidence in court.An exception may exist when the evidence could have orwould have been obtain anyway by other means.41.What is the purpose of discovery?The general exchange of information and evidence between prosecutors anddefendants iscalled discovery. In the interests of promoting justice, avoidingsurprises during trials, and in facilitating the more rapid settlement of cases,prosecutors are typically required to provide the defense copies of the arrestrecords, search warrants, witness statements, and, in general, access to allevidence in the case. However, local discovery rules vary from one jurisdiction tothe next, and in federal courts, prosecutors are not required to supply the defensepretrial statements from government witnesses. In somejurisdictionsandcircumstances defendants may also have discovery obligations. In civil cases,both the plaintiff and defendant are required to submit to discovery from theopposing side.42.Why is hearsay allowed in a preliminary hearing?Preliminary hearings seek to weed out weak cases, and since there is nodetermination of guilt or innocence, their rules of evidence are much more lax.
Page 18 of 31
Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 18 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-1043.What is the voir dire process?In thevoir direprocess, the attorneys or the judge asks potential jurors questionsabout their attitudes and backgrounds and may automatically exclude some jurorsusing “peremptory challenges.” Additional jurors may also be excluded if anattorney can show just cause for, say, extreme bias, but judges routinely acceptthe word of prospective jurors who promise to set aide admitted biases.44.What options does a defense attorney have to counter the testimony of a witness?The defense attorney can cross examine the witness and/or call defense witnessesto counter the witness’s testimony.45.Discuss the importance of jury instructions.The final part of the jury trial before the case goes to the jury is that the judgegives jury instructions on the legal principles that the jury must apply to the case.The jury instructions are critical because they typically define the elements of thecrimes (or civil wrongs) under consideration, reasonable doubt, permissibleconsiderations in evaluating the credibility of the witnesses, and the mechanics ofthe deliberations.46.Discuss the rules of evidence.In criminal trials, the rules of evidence control both the content of the evidenceand the manner in which it is presented. In federal and most state courts, the rulesof evidence are set forth in statutory codes.The number one rule relating to evidence is that it can be introduced only if it isshown to be relevant, meaning that the attorney must logically connect it to thequestions at hand. However, not all relevant evidence is admitted. For example,judges may exclude relevant evidence that is deemed to be overly prejudicial orinflammatory to the emotions.A second major rule of evidence, the personal knowledge rule,is that witnessescan testify only to things that they personally know through one or more of theirown senses.The major exception to the personal knowledge rule applies to expert witnesses,who are permitted to draw expert conclusions based on facts admitted intoevidence. For example, a handwriting expert could testify that in her opinion, adefendant forged a given document, even though the expert did not personallywitness the act of forgery.
Page 19 of 31
Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 19 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-11A third major rule of evidence content excludes certain written and oralstatements made out of court. One type of statement that is excluded is a hearsaystatement,which is a witness statement that may be offered into evidence for itsown truth.There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule: dying declarations, excitedutterances, defendant admissions, statements that show someone’s state of mind,written government and business records, and prior inconsistent statements. Mostof these exceptions are fairly self-evident, but the state-of-mind exceptiondeserves some explanation. Any out-of-court statements that indicate a person’semotions, beliefs, or intent generally may be admitted despite the fact that theywere made out of court if they are otherwise admissible. For example, the defensecould impeach a prosecution eyewitness by introducing another witness whoheard the eyewitness speaking angrily and jealously about the defendant one daybefore the alleged crime took place.Another important rule of evidence content relates to the chain of custody, whichapplies to tangible evidence (exhibits) introduced into evidence. The generalrequirement is that before a tangible exhibit can be introduced, the attorney mustshow that it is what it is purported to be and that it has not been changed in anymaterial way since the alleged crime was committed.The rules relating to the manner of witness testimony prohibit the attorney fromasking on direct examination leading questions that suggest a particular answer.On the other hand, the attorney may ask leading questions on cross-examination.Some other types of questions are completely forbidden, including those that“badger” the witnesses, questions that assume facts not in evidence, questions thatmisquote witnesses, and questions that ask the witness to speculate or drawimproper conclusions,47.What element is common to the crimes of solicitation, arson, forgery, and burglary?These crimes all, like crimes in general, involve intent.48.Discuss the consequences of violating the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.In effect, SOX’s main effect on criminal liability is not to create new crimes butto increase penalties for crimes such as mail and wire fraud, which were increasedfrom 5 to 20 years in prison, for example. The act does, however, establishcriminal liability (10 to 20 years in prison) for corporate officers who either fail tocertify or improperly certify the financial statements of their companies. The actalso makes it a crime (with 5 years in prison) for an independent auditor not tomaintain its working papers from an audit for 5 years.

Are there any similarities in the nature of theinvestigations? Are the goals of the investigation the same? Is there any specific traininga forensic accountant would need to conduct the different investigations?The criminal and civil processes are very similar. Criminal cases may need toinvolve law enforcement, and in criminal cases the discovery rules favor thedefendant much more than they do in civil cases.50.Suppose the laws of a certain state require the use of either a Subchapter Scorporation or a limited partnership in operating an accounting practice. What happens ifthe U.S. Constitution is amended prohibiting accounting firms from operating as limitedpartnerships? What options would an existing accounting firm have once the constitutionis amended? Would the firm be required to change its method of operation?The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and so state laws mandatingaccounting firms to operate as limited partnerships would become invalid. Also,accounting firms could no longer operate as limited partnerships even if theywanted to. States would likely introduce new laws to cover the situation.51.Why are the legal standards different for criminal and civil matters? Separatelyidentify the differences between these two types of matters from the perspectives of thedefendant and the plaintiff/prosecutor.The main difference in legal standards involves the burden of proof required bythe prosecutor versus the plaintiff. In criminal cases, the prosecutor must proveguilt beyond a reasonable doubt. On the other hand, plaintiffs in civil cases mustprove their cases by a preponderance of the evidence.52.In the investigation of a criminal or civil matter, how does the forensic accountantobtain the necessary information? Discuss the use of all investigative tools, including thesubpoena, the grand jury, and the search warrant.In criminal cases law enforcement may subpoena information when there isprobably cause that a crime has been committed.Subpoenas can sometimes takeweeks to obtain the desired information and may or may not require a judge’ssignature, depending on the jurisdiction. Warrants, on the other hand, arenormally signed by a judge and permit authorities to immediately seize evidence.Warrants are normally needed to seize evidence contained in a suspect’s home.

Solution Manual For Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination, 2nd Edition - Page 21 preview imageChapter 02-The Forensic Accounting Legal Environment2-13Grand juries normally have subpoena power, and the power to summon witnessesand compel them to give testimony under oath.In civil cases, attorneys typically act as officers of the court and issue subpoenasas part of the discovery process.53.Why is bail required? Are there any mitigating factors that could decrease the amountof bail? Are there any charges for which there is no bail? What protection does a bailbond seller have?Bail is a “security deposit” aimed at insuring the defendant will appear for trial.Bail bond sellers typically require collateral (such as a home mortgage) to ensurethey can collect the full amount of the bail in the event that the defendant does notappear for trial.Judges consider many factors in setting bail, including the nature of the crime, thestrength of the prosecution’s evidence, and the background of the accused.Judges can waive bail for any charges; theamount of bail is typically at thediscretion of the judge.54.Discuss the constitutional right of a defendant to have a jury trial. Are there instanceswhen a defendant would prefer to have a trial by judge? Would the prosecutor have apreference? Discuss the benefits and detriments of both jury and judge trials from eachperspective.Federal judges are appointed for life and relatively immune to political pressure.Therefore in federal cases a defendant might prefer a trial by judge in a case inwhich it appears likely the jury will be negatively affected by political pressures.In some cases, judges might be more capable of handling complex technicalissues and thus be preferable for this reason.Jury trials often favor the defendant, especially in criminal cases in which aunanimous verdict is required, because the defense is able to participate in thejury selection process, and it takes only one dissenting vote to prevent aconviction.55.Which side has the burden of proof in a trial? Are there instances when the burdenlies with the opposite party? Are there instances when the burden lies with both parties?In general the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff or prosecutor. But as apractical matter, the burden can shift to the defense after a prosecutor or plaintiffputs on a case with very strong evidence. When such happens the defendant willlikely lose the case unless he presents a case to the jury or judge.

When are exceptions to the hearsay ruleallowed? Is there any consistency between the rule and exceptions; in otherwords, can you devise an explanation as to why allowing exceptions to thehearsay rule does not violate the rationale for it?The hearsay rule exists because the defendant has a right to question those whotestify against her. It’s impossible to cross examine someone who does not appearin court. There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule: dying declarations,excited utterances, defendant admissions, statements that show someone’s state ofmind, written government and business records, and prior inconsistent statements.In general, hearsay exceptions do not prevent a defendant from cross examininghearsay witnesses.57.Discuss different crimes that have arisen because of the use of computers. Is thecommon theme of these crimes the use of a computer or the underlying act that isinvolved? Would any of these crimes still exist if accomplished without the use of acomputer?Technology makes certain crimes easier, especially crimes that involved theft ofinformation. Computer networks, including the Internet, make it possible forhackers and unauthorized users to access centralized database and quickly steallarge amounts of information. This in turn can lead to crimes such as identitytheft.Computers also tend to make it more difficult to identify the perpetrators ofcrimes. Computer hackers leave not fingerprints or blown-off safe doors.Most computer-related crimes would in fact exist without computers, thoughmany of them would be less prevalent.

Evaluate each amendment and explain how its provisions would affect botha prosecutor and a defense attorney.The Bill of Rights, have an especially important impact on civil and criminalprocedures. The Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable searches, the FifthAmendment sets the right against double jeopardy (being tried twice for the samecrime), the right against-self incrimination (testifying against oneself), and thefoundation for due process (the right to be given notices of charges or claims and theopportunity to defend against them). The Sixth Amendment grants the right to aspeedy trial, a jury, an attorney in criminal cases, to confront accusers,and tocompelwitnesses to testify. The Seventh Amendment grants the right to a jury trial in certaincivil cases; the Eighth Amendment forbids excessive bail and cruel and unusualpunishment; the Ninth Amendment states that the set of citizens’ rights can bebroader that those elaborated in the Constitution. The Tenth Amendment states thatwhatever authority is not vested in the federal government rests in the states.59.Research the fraud triangle. Specifically look for its application to accountants (theAICPA Web site ishttp://www.aicpa.org).Discuss specific steps the forensic accountantcould take in each area of the triangle to combat fraud.Pressure: Run credit checks on prospective employees. Employees with creditproblems may be under pressure to steal.Opportunity: This is the one are in which the business has a good deal of control.Strong internal controls and ethics systems tend to reduce opportunities to defraud thecompany.Rationalization: Background checks and personality tests may help to identify somewho are at higher risk for defrauding the company. Promoting close relationshipsbetween the company and employees can help inspire loyalty to the company.

Even students who have already had a course in AIS maybenefit from the coverage, even if only for review purposes. Suggested points to stress:•General•The materials in this chapter are essential for students to properly understandingauditing, and auditing is essential for students to understand fraud examination,and fraud examination is a primary area of forensic accounting.•Students with no accounting (or AIS) background need to master the materials inthis chapter along with auditing, before covering the fraud examination chapter.•Learning Objectives•LO1: Explain the meaning of business processes.oStudents without a systems background are accustomed to anorganization-chart view of the business enterprise. In this chapter, theylearn about how business processes span multiple departments and don’tfollow the organization chart.oMany students will already be familiar with the accounting cycle, whichtraces transactions from journals, to ledgers, to the financial statements.The accounting cycle should be distinguished from business processes,which flow along different lines. Actually, the accounting cycle is abusiness process in of itself, distinct from the basic transaction cycles.•LO2: Identify and explain the basic transaction cycles.oThe major operations of the business can be explained by the basictransaction cycles.•LO3: Define and explain business processes.oStudents should be asked to compare the SAP view covered in the chapterto the transaction cycle view. Ask the students to explain what is includedin the SAP view but not in the transaction cycle view. Student will observethat other business processes exist besides those in the basic transactioncycles.
