Presentation Type

Breakout Session (Electronic Copy Not Available)

Abstract

Learning Objective: IDENTIFY common fraud risk factors present in an actual financial reporting fraud.

This session is aimed at business professionals and small business entrepreneurs. From the early 1989 to 2006, Le-Nature’s Inc. grew from a small startup company to the 33rd largest beverage producer in the United States, with annual reported sales approaching $290 million and a workforce of several hundred employees. In 2006, federal law enforcement authorities placed a final price tag of nearly $700 million on the founder’s long running scam. We will use this case study to identify common fraud risk factors, warning signs, and stakeholder investigations.
