Slippery Slope of Greed: Le-Nature’s Inc. Case Study - Part 2 Fraud Prevention

Presentation Type

Breakout Session

Abstract

Learning Objectives: DETERMINE the five components of internal control and how they relate to the case. RECOGNIZE deficiencies in an organization’s internal controls and governance.

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 determine how the five components of internal control may prevent fraud and recognize deficiencies in a company’s internal controls and governance.
