Read the case study and map the fraud case to the appropriate expense report fraud flow in Chapter 7 (Exhibit 7.4 or 7.5 or 7.6). In a 2-3 page paper address the following questions: which fraud flow and specific steps did the fraudster manipulate and how will the new processes installed deter, detect or prevent this from recurring? Travel and expense reimbursement schemes may seem like they are an easy fraud to perpetrate, however, the recurring problem is that people wind up getting too greedy and get caught because of it. Lucky for us the fraudster’s greed leads them to get sloppy when they believe that a fraud is going to continue to go undetected. This was the case in the article “Fashioning a Fraud” by Bethmara Kessler.

Able called Dick and set up the place where Dick would meet Able and receive the stolen candleholder.

There are several ways an individual can become educated. People have to learn about life in a way that school can not teach. In Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson” and Richard Rodriguez’s “The Achievement of Desire” both authors show how the protagonists received education on societies perceptions of individuals based on appearance and cultural background, but developed different motivations regarding ambitions for wealth and success. Becoming educated is about possessing a balance between academia and lessons you learn throughout life overtime. “The Lesson” is an essay that looks at wealth through the eyes of a poor black girl whose education includes a trip to one of the world’s premiere toy store.

The Gold Saves the Thieves (pg 205) The King says that there is a blue cross on the dead man’s chest whereas Harvey Wilks says that there are the words “P-B-W” so everyone goes along and brings the coffin up to inspect the corpse and finds the gold that Huck has hidden (202).
