Almost every time you hear about some sort of scandal in the news, there's usually a financial component. What I would like you to do is to research accounting scandals from the last decade or so, and tell us what they did and how they did it! It doesn't have to be a big business, it can be something local as well, such as a bookkeeper caught stealing from Catholic charities here in Bridgewater, NJ....oops...that may have been one :) I would like the title of your post to be the name of the company, and then I would like a 3 paragraph response. The first paragraph should be a description of the scandal, timing, etc. The second paragraph should be how they got caught and if there would have been a way to prevent it. The third paragraph should be what you think about it and how you might prevent something like that happening to your company. Feel free to link any articles you find to the post.
