Question 8.

(21 points)

Kristynn Graham, a woman from Trashcan City, Alabama, was a shopping addict and had run up
considerable debt on excessive purchases of jewelry and clothes. She would also slap down plastic at
the grocery store, to take her kids to miniature golf, and go bowling with her husband. Christmas
purchases were a little bigger, with gifts like $100 remote-control cars for her sons. She made $11 an
hour at Durban, and her husband earned a little bit more as a machinist at an aircraft company. Family
finances were a constant balancing act. Now she needed a way to avoid telling her husband about the
addiction.
Kristynn turned to her employer, Durban Consulting. She raised money to pay down her obligations by
repeatedly padding the companys expense accounts. She took reimbursements for trips and
conferences she did not attend. In her three years of work, she had collected a total of $240,000 from
her employer. It got to the point where she did not feel like she was doing anything wrong. When
Durban found out, Graham admitted the fraud and pled guilty to one count of fraud and said that she
was planning to pay it back.

considered a Mischaracterized Expense Reimbursement. A fictitious expense reimbursement
scheme is the act of being reimbursed for items or events that never existed in this case the

expense reimbursement to pay for something personal in this case her debt, which she
reclassified into reimbursable expenses.

c. List any four factors/weaknesses that could have resulted in this type of fraud.
If this organization allowed for supervisors from outside of the requestors department to
approve the expense reports, since the supervisor would not be familiar with the individuals
work schedule. They should have run a comparison of expenses against previous years to
determine if there were any extreme differences. They should have also compared expense
reports against others in the company to determine if any one individual in this case Kristynn
was expensing a higher amount than others. Also, the information required for the expense
report to be approved should be original receipts and a report as to what the expense was for
that must be signed by that employee.

Sebutkan empat faktor / kelemahan yang bisa mengakibatkan jenis penipuan ini!
Jika organisasi ini diperbolehkan pengawas dari luar departemen pemohon
untuk menyetujui laporan pengeluaran, karena pengawas tidak akan akrab
dengan jadwal pekerjaan individul. Mereka harus menjalankan
perbandingan biaya dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya untuk menentukan apakah
ada perbedaan yang ekstrim. Mereka juga harus memiliki laporan
pengeluaran untuk dibandingkan dengan orang lain dalam perusahaan untuk
menentukan apakah setiap individu dalam hal ini Kristynn, membebankan
jumlah yang lebih tinggi daripada yang lain. Selain itu, informasi yang
diperlukan untuk laporan pengeluaran yang akan disetujui harus terdapat
penerimaan asli dan laporan untuk apa biaya itu yang harus ditandatangani
oleh karyawan itu.
d. What could be done to avoid or reduce this kind of fraud in a company? What segregation of
duties could have been in place to prevent Kristynn from committing this fraud? (List four
effective ways.)

their work schedule, Comparing expense report with previous reports, and by using red flags
such as high dollar expenses paid in cash and receipts ending in 0 or 5. They should also
compare expenses in general for all employees to see if any one or more employees
consistently have higher expenses than other employees and then they must determine why by
reviewing the reports for accuracy.
Apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk menghindari atau mengurangi penipuan semacam ini di
sebuah perusahaan? Apa pemisahan tugas bisa saja di tempat untuk mencegah Kristynn
dari melakukan penipuan ini? (Daftar empat cara yang efektif.)
Rincian akuntansi penggantian biaya.
Membandingkan laporan pengeluaran karyawan dengan jadwal kerja mereka,
Membandingkan laporan pengeluaran dengan laporan sebelumnya, dan dengan
menggunakan red flags, seperti biaya tinggi dolar dibayar tunai dan penerimaan
berakhiran "0" atau "5". Mereka juga harus membandingkan biaya secara umum
bagi semua karyawan untuk melihat apakah ada satu atau lebih karyawan secara
konsisten memiliki biaya lebih tinggi daripada karyawan lain dan kemudian mereka
harus menentukan mengapa, dengan meninjau laporan untuk akurasi.

e. It is said that this kind of fraud does not result in as much loss as fraud committed by
management or top executives. Why do you think this is so?
Management and Top Executives are more likely to commit fraud through financial statements
either overstating a companys receivables or under reporting the debt. This type of fraud
effects all the employees and even stockholders if the company is traded publicly. This type of
fraud can lead to a companys stock price being overvalued, it is also estimated that even
though this fraud is more rare than other types it on average will cost about $4 million per
incident.
Dikatakan bahwa jenis penipuan tidak mengakibatkan kerugian sebanyak kerugian
penipuan yang dilakukan oleh manajemen atau eksekutif puncak. Mengapa Anda pikir
ini begitu?

Manajemen dan Top Eksekutif lebih mungkin untuk melakukan penipuan melalui
laporan keuangan baik melebih-lebihkan piutang perusahaan atau di bawah
pelaporan utang. Jenis efek penipuan semua karyawan dan bahkan pemegang
saham jika perusahaan publik. Jenis penipuan dapat mengakibatkan harga saham
perusahaan yang dinilai terlalu tinggi, itu juga diperkirakan bahwa meskipun
penipuan ini lebih langka daripada jenis lain rata-rata akan biaya sekitar $ 4 juta
per kejadian.

f.

Name the three components of the fraud triangle and describe how each one existed in the
scenario.
The fraud triangle consists of three components these are Pressure, Opportunity, and
Rationalization. In this instance Kristynn was under economic pressures to commit the fraud
so that she could pay off her debts without creating tension in her family by having to admit
her problem of overspending. The Opportunity was present by the lack of controls setup,
which allowed her to submit fraudulent expense reports that were approved without
investigation. She was able to Rationalize the act of fraud by the most common belief that she
sold herself into thinking she was going to pay it back, but as is stated she reached a point
where she didnt feel like she was doing anything wrong.

Nama tiga komponen dari segitiga penipuan dan gambarkan bagaimana masing-masing
ada di skenario.

Segitiga penipuan terdiri dari tiga komponen, Tekanan, Peluang, dan Rasionalisasi.
Dalam hal ini Kristynn berada di bawah tekanan ekonomi untuk melakukan
penipuan sehingga dia bisa membayar utang tanpa menciptakan ketegangan di
keluarganya dengan memiliki mengakui masalahnya dari overspending. Peluang
hadir dengan kurangnya kontrol

setup, yang memungkinkan

dia untuk

menyerahkan laporan pengeluaran palsu yang telah disetujui tanpa penyelidikan.


Dia mampu merasionalisasi tindakan penipuan dengan keyakinan yang paling
umum bahwa dia menjual dirinya ke dalam pemikiran dia akan membayar kembali,
tetapi seperti yang dinyatakan dia mencapai titik di mana ia tidak merasa seperti dia
melakukan sesuatu yang salah.
