Fraud Discussion
The current fraud environment is changing in multiple ways. The way CPAs conduct engagements to detect fraud has been shaped by the global and technological environment. Additionally, both Superior Courts and County Court Rules are changing the way attorneys are preparing their cases to defend a client or prove innocence. The joining of attorneys in the fraud detection process has created the need to enhance CPA oversight in preparing fraud schedules and visuals.
Using the Internet or Strayer Library, research a case of fraud and discuss the case from both the position of the attorney defending the client as well as the position of the prosecuting attorney.
• Assess the evidence used by each attorney and the outcomes of the case.
• Evaluate the fraud schedules and visuals presented in the case and discuss their usefulness in the event of an appeal or the discovery of additional evidence.
• Support your rationale and provide examples.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
