Doug Dougles was the CFO for a medium-sized privately held manufacturer. But Doug was also addicted to cocaine, and his CFO salary was insufficient to cover the costs of his large habit. Knowing that he would receive a bonus if the company’s profits were high enough, Doug devised a scheme where he would intentionally understate expenses with a journal entry that shifts part of the administrative salaries from expenses to inventory (an asset). Doug knew that by fraudulently understating expenses in this way, profits would increase and he would be able to receive an undeserved cash bonus. This would allow him to use more cocaine. Doug could do this without the threat of being caught because he had access to the accounting records, and his approval was the only approval needed for unusual, manual journal entries. Additionally, because of the company’s size, they did not have many accounting professionals around to look for unusual journal entries. Although Doug knew that he was creating a false journal entry, he believed this action was justified because he’d helped the company to grow so much in recent years, and his salary had not increased much. The experience went well, so Doug repeated the process several more times. All went well for a time, until one of the owners began asking questions about the company’s rapid growth in inventory. A fraud investigation was requested, and Doug suddenly left town. The fraud investigators estimated that Doug inflated profits by around $2 million over the course of three years, resulting in Doug receiving around $150,000 of undeserved bonuses. 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?
