Abstract Details

2004, Bachelor of Science in Business, Miami University, School of Business Administration - Finance.
Over the past several years, accounting fraud has dominated the headlines of mainstream news. While these recent cases all involve sums of money far in excess of any before, accounting fraud is certainly not a new phenomenon. Since the early days on Wall Street, fraud has consistently fooled the markets, investors, and auditors alike. In this thesis, an analysis of several cases of accounting fraud is conducted with background information, fraud logistics, and accounting and auditing violations all subject to study. This paper discusses specific cases of fraud and presents the issues that have been and must continue to be addressed as companies push the envelope of acceptable accounting standards. The discussion and findings demonstrate the ever-present potential for fraud in a variety of accounts, companies, industries, and time periods, while also having a powerful influence on an auditor’s work and preconceptions going forward.
