    SOX vs. the Brooke Corporation

    The purpose of this article analysis is to identify situations that may lead to unethical practices and behavior in accounting. Brooke Corporation and founder Robert Orr are an example of how Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) laws have not been as effective as most want to believe as based on the article, “Eight Years after the Fact is SOX working? A Look at the Brooke Corporation” by Beth Hazels. Brooke Corporation was, “once the largest franchisors of property and casualty insurance in the United States” (Hazel, p.19) until both company and founder filed for bankruptcy in 2008. Robert Orr and Brooke Corporation committed fraud on their financial statements as well as misappropriated commissions and funds due to their franchisee agents, customers and lenders during their 24-year reign of deceit. Lawsuits alleging anywhere from “fraud and civil racketeering to business valuations and financing were brought up against Brooke corporation and most were dropped. Brooke was also in violation of several SOX laws that have yet to be raised against them” (Hazel, p.23).…

    Nextbank

    In the late 1990 's the internet boom was taking off, and many new company 's were being formed in Silicon Valley adding to the buzz. One such company was NextCard, Inc. Founded by Jeremy Lent and his wife, the company offered credit cards with 30 second approvals with very lenient credit stipulations. They marketed on the internet and used a business model that would reduce the cost to gain a customer and targeted internet savvy consumers with large credit balances. In 1999 the company went public, and by 2000 they had nearly 1 million customers extending close to a billion in credit to those customers. Even with this success, the company did not make a quarterly profit and had over 80 million in losses. As this information began to make it to public knowledge, serious investigations began to occur, prompting their auditors, Ernst and Young of Silicon Valley, to take a serious look at their 2000 audit. Thomas Trauger, the lead on the audit in 2000, called a meeting with a staff member and another audit manager. They began to tamper with the audit by pulling it out of the archive and altering it to look as if they had called attention to the issues going on with the financials. The main issues with their financials was that NextCard had not accounted for enough in Bad Debt losses. Since the customers that used their services were high credit risk, they were required to write off several millions in bad debt losses. Once the investigation focused on the audit, the three auditors were brought to justice, as well as the executives with NextCard. In this paper, I will discuss the PCAOB and the AICPA code of conduct and how it applies to this case, as well as explore the intentions of the auditors. We will explore the auditors point of view and look at the implications of their actions.…

    Fraud

    The main suspects at this time are Ben Hill, Michelle Shelton, Candie Harris, Sam MacCarty, and Phil Ackers. The red flags in this case deal primarily with a lack in segregation of duties. These suspects all juggle multiple roles, some of which are not listed in their job description. Some of these suspects actively seek out additional responsibilities and place themselves in roles where they probably do not belong. Further rationalization for choosing these suspects is outlined below.…

    Credit Card Fraud

    Credit Card Fraud is one of the biggest threats to business establishments today. Originally, credit cards simply carried raised numbers that were transferred to a carbon copy with a card-swiping machine. The merchant simply accepted any card presented. Spending limits and printed lists of lost/stolen cards were ineffective in preventing fraud and other financial losses. Merchants were required to telephone a transaction authorization center to get pre-approval of the transaction. The volume of telephone traffic grew too great, and more automated authorization systems allowed faster, easier, and verified transactions. Magnetic stripes on the backs of these payment cards started to appear and that allowed computers to be used at both ends of the call.…
