7 Median Loss of Types of Occupational Fraud and Abuse

8 Frequency of Corruption Schemes

9 Bribery Offering, giving, receiving or soliciting any thing of value to influence an official act Buys influence of the recipient Commercial bribery Kickbacks Bid-rigging schemes

10 Kickback Schemes Involve submission of invoices for goods and services that are either overpriced or completely fictitious Involve collusion between employees and vendors Almost always attack the purchasing function of the victim company

11 Kickback Schemes Diverting business to vendors –Vendor pays the kickbacks to ensure a steady stream of business from the purchasing company –No incentive to provide quality merchandise or low price –Almost always leads to overpaying of goods or services

12 Overbilling Schemes Employees with approval authority –Vendor submits inflated invoices to the victim company –Overstates the cost of actual goods or services or reflect fictitious sales –Ability to authorize purchases is key to the scheme

13 Overbilling Schemes Employees lacking approval authority –Circumvent purchasing controls –May prepare false vouchers to make it appear that the invoice is legitimate –May forge an approval signature or have access to a restricted password in a computerized system –Difficult to detect since the victim company is being attacked from two directions

14 Other Kickback Schemes Discounts are given in exchange for bribes Slush funds –Other side of the transaction –Funds can be paid from other accounts or paid as “consulting fees”

15 Detecting Kickbacks Normal controls may not detect kickbacks schemes Look for price inflation Monitor trends in cost of goods sold and services purchased –Often starts small but increases over time

16 Detecting Kickbacks Look for excessive quantities purchased Investigate inventory shortages Look for inferior goods purchased Compare actual to budgeted amounts

17 Preventing Kickbacks Assign an employee independent of the purchasing department to routinely review buying patterns Make sure that all contracts have a “right to audit” clause Establish written policies prohibiting employees from soliciting or accepting any gift or favor from a customer or supplier Expressly forbid any employee from engaging in any transaction on behalf of the company who has an undisclosed personal interest in the transaction Implement an ethics policy that clearly explains what improper behavior is and provides grounds for termination if an employee accepts a bribe or kickback

18 Bid-Rigging Schemes All bidders are expected to be on an even playing field – bidding on the same specifications The more power a person has over the bidding process, the more influence he can exert over the selection of the winning bid Potential targets include: –Buyers –Contracting officials –Engineers and technical representatives –Quality or produce assurance representatives –Subcontractor liaison employees

19 Pre-Solicitation Phase Need recognition schemes –Employee of the purchasing company convinces the company that a particular project is necessary –Has the specifications tailored to the strengths of a particular supplier Trends indicating a need recognition scheme is occurring –Higher requirements for stock and inventory levels –Writing off large numbers of surplus items to scrap –Defining a need that can only be met by a certain supplier –Failure to develop a satisfactory list of backup suppliers

20 Specification Schemes Specifications include a list of the elements, materials, dimensions, and other relevant requirements Set the specifications to a particular vendor’s capabilities Use“prequalification” procedures to eliminate certain vendors Sole-source or noncompetitive procurement justifications Deliberately writes vague specifications requiring amendments at a later date Bid splitting Gives a vendor the right to see the specifications before his competitors get the specs

21 The Solicitation Phase Restricting the pool of vendors to choose from Bid pooling Fictitious suppliers Restricting the time for submitting bids Soliciting bids in obscure publications Publicizing the bid during holiday periods

22 The Submission Phase Fraud in the sealed bid process –Last bid submitted is the one that is awarded the contract –Winning bidder finds out what the other competitors are bidding –Winning bidder may see the other competitors bids before submitting his bid Gets help on preparing the bid

23 Detecting Bid-Rigging Schemes Look for: –Unusual bidding patterns –Low bids followed by change orders –A very large unexplained price difference among bidders –Contractors who bid last repeatedly receiving the contract –A predictable rotation of bidders –Losing bidders who become subcontractors –Vendors with the same address and phone number –Fewer bidders than expected for the project –Projects that have been split into smaller ones

24 Something of Value Cash Promises of future employment Promise of ownership in the supplier’s firm Gifts –Liquor and meals –Free travel and accommodations –Cars and other merchandise Payment of credit card bills Loans on very favorable terms Transfers of property

25 Other Corruption Schemes Illegal gratuities –Given to reward a decision rather than influence it –Decision made to benefit a person or company but is not influenced by any sort of payment –May influence future decisions Economic extortion –“Pay up or else” –Employee demands payment from a vendor in order to make a decision in the vendor’s favor

26 Conflicts of Interest Employee, manager, or executive has an undisclosed economic or personal interest in a transaction that adversely affects the company Victim organization is unaware of the employee’s divided loyalties Distinguished from bribery–in conflicts of interest, the fraudster approves the invoice because of his own hidden interest in the vendor Purchasing schemes Sales schemes

27 Purchasing Schemes Overbilling schemes –Bill originates from a real company in which the fraudster has an undisclosed economic or personal interest –Fraudster uses influence to ensure the victim company does business with this particular vendor –Does not negotiate in good faith or attempt to get the best price for the employer Turnaround sales –The employee knows that the company is seeking to purchase a particular asset and purchases it himself –Turns around and sells it to the company at an inflated price

28 Sales Schemes Underbillings –Goods are sold below fair market value to a customer in which the perpetrator has a hidden interest Writing off sales –Purchases are made from the victim company and credit memos are later issued

29 Other Conflict of Interest Schemes Business diversions –Siphoning off clients of the victim company to the employee’s own business Resource diversions –Diverting funds and other resources for the development of the employee’s own company Financial disclosures –Inadequate disclosures of related-party transactions to the company

30 Preventing and Detecting Conflicts of Interest Implement, communicate, and enforce an ethics policy that addresses conflicts of interest offenses Require employees to complete an annual disclosure statement Establish an anonymous reporting mechanism to receive tips and complaints Compare vendor address and telephone files to employee address and telephone files for matches
