Bruce was an accounts payable clerk at Company B. His primary responsibility was processing invoices for payment. He was also responsible for handling occasional refund checks from vendors who were accidentally overpaid. Bruce’s wife had outstanding debts from unpaid hospital bills. In the state where they lived her debts are his debts. They had declared personal bankruptcy four years earlier, and now they are deep in debt again. The law allows bankruptcy only once every seven years. In order to pay his wife’s hospital debts, Bruce concocted a fraudulent scheme. He began processing certain invoices twice, often using his employer’s largest suppliers. He would make a copy of the manufacturer’s invoice, then process the first invoice and send it for approval and payment. A few days later, he would process the invoice again using the copy he’d made, always putting it in a stack of other invoices awaiting payment. In this way, the bill was paid twice. This was easy to do because no employee checks whether an invoice had already been paid before paying it. When the supplier realized the overpayment and sent a refund check, Bruce received the check and slipped it into his wallet. He then turned it over to his wife, who forged the company’s endorsement and deposited it in her business account. In less than two years, Bruce embezzled more than $125,000. An anonymous tip from a co-worker alerted the internal auditor, whose investigation revealed the fraud. When the police took him to jail, Bruce hollered that the owners of the company were “millionaire fatcats” and that “they needed to be punished for ripping off the workers”. (Adapted from: Joseph T. Wells, Journal of Accountancy, September, 2002) First, which (of the three major) categories of occupational fraud does this fraud fall into? Who was hurt by this fraud? Who benefitted? Second, (a) name and (b) define each of the three elements of the fraud triangle. Then, (c) identify and explain where each of the three elements of the fraud triangle were present in this fraud case. Third, outside of generally stating “improve internal controls”, describe at least one specific action or policy that this company might have taken/implemented to reduce the risk of this fraud occurring?
