1. What is Fraud & Abuse?
The term ‘occupational fraud’ may be defined as:
“The use of one’s occupation for personal enrichment through
the deliberate misuse or misapplication of the employing
organization’s resources or assets.”
![Page 5: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

The Fraud Triangle

2. Measuring the Cost of Occupational Fraud
Fraud, by its very nature, does
not lend itself to being
scientifically observed or
measured in an accurate
manner.
One of the primary
characteristics of fraud is that
it is clandestine, or hidden;
almost all fraud also involves
the attempted concealment of
the crime.

a. 1%
b. 3%
c. 5%
d. 7%
Question 2
When fraud occurs, the typical organization
loses what percentage of its annual revenue
due to fraud?
![Page 9: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Fraud Techniques

Question 5
On average, the most expensive corruption
scheme committed by employees of an
organization is:
![Page 17: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bribery/Kickback Red Flags Rising expenses for goods and services.
Slow deliveries from or substandard performance by a vendor.
Rapidly increasing purchases from one vendor.
Excessive purchases of goods or services.
No divisions of duties between new vendor approval and
authorization for purchasing.
Contracts written to limit competition (for example, sole-
source contracts).
The same vendor always wins contracts by small margins.
The contract always goes to the bid received last.
Splitting one purchase into multiples to avoid the approval
process.
Paying above-market prices for goods or services.

How Occupational Fraud is Committed: Asset Misappropriation
Sally’s Skimming Scam Story
![Page 19: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
See Sally Steal
Sally was the court administrator for the municipal court of a
small city – responsible for collecting fines imposed by the
court.
She maintained the court’s accounts receivable records from
customers and collection agencies.
6 ½ year scheme (she started on her 25th day of
employment).
Recorded non-cash JE’s to A/R to reduce fines and account
for stolen checks (community service, court actions, etc).
Amount stolen = $290,227 (10% of the courts revenue).
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE…
![Page 20: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sally’s Second Scheme
Sends Her Screaming To the Slammer
She began a second scheme – cash payment from night
court fines ($5,100 from 49 fines).
Didn’t enter the fine or the collection of the payment
This is how she was caught:
Temporary employee noticed several missing $100 bills in the
deposit the next day.
Initially she admitted only this fraud, but after further questioning
the bigger fraud was discovered.
What went wrong…
No segregation of duties.
No independent monitoring of the “non-cash credit” reports
(which would have been very inconsistent with levels of revenue
earned).
![Page 21: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Legend of King Klein
Finance Director
Sumter 17 School Board
Sumter, South Carolina
Over two decades he stole
and/or diverted at least $3.5
million dollars.
![Page 22: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A King’s Ransom
Klein took money in a variety
of ways:
Stole from school activity funds.
Stole from capital projects funds.
Created over 15 fake companies
and invoices.
Paid deposits on school field
trips, then cancelled the trips.
![Page 23: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The King’s Court
Days after being suspended, he took
$45,100 of the stolen money and
bought 28 months of credit in the SC
retirement system, thereby reaching
30 years of full benefits…which pays
$3,800 each month for the rest of his
life.
Served 5 years in prison and 5 years
on probation paying restitution of
$3,000 per month.
Now living back in Sumter, SC.

The Story of Turner’s Ghost Employees
![Page 25: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Just the Facts
Turner was a payroll specialist for a large Florida Not-For-
Profit (he was also experiencing health problems)
Over 2 years he stole $112,000 to cover his medical costs
Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and
attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting
employee master records. Furthermore, a supervisor
reviewed all payroll distributions
Turner stole user ID and password from other employee to
create ghost employees, prepared fake payroll summary for
supervisor approval, paychecks direct deposited into his
account.
![Page 26: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
White as a Ghost
Created phony file copies of payroll checks (on white paper).
Legitimate checks were on yellow paper.
Annual audit transaction testing – staff accountant noticed the
white paper and started asking questions
Red Flags:
Infrequent change in passwords by payroll system administrator
SS#’s were for dead people
Employee #’s were much higher than legitimate employees
None of fake employees had personnel file
Net payroll expense was lower than funds actually issued
because it did not include ghost employees
Payroll Summaries created were in different type face
Multiple direct deposits to the same bank account
![Page 27: Stats, Facts & Stories Fall Conference_files/Rob Churchman.pdf · Segregation of Duties existed = posting of time and attendance (Turner’s job) was separate from adding / deleting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062506/5fb62b61f0b2a058437b0f3a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Detection and Prevention
Look for paychecks w/o deductions
Check payroll for presence of duplicate names,
addresses and Social Security Numbers
Occasionally hand-deliver paychecks to employees and
require positive identification. If you have leftover
paychecks, make sure they belong to actual employees,
not ghosts
Be wary of budget variations

a. 6 months
b. 12 months
c. 18 months
d. 24 months
Question 6

it is caught by the victim organization?

Hotline Tips
STEP 1: Plan the Hotline Program
Give employees, vendors, and other sources options for
coming forward
Consider providing an external hotline service
Have a skilled interviewer around the clock
Choose one department to “own” the hotline
STEP 2: Promote Awareness (posters, classes, etc.)
STEP 3: Develop a Follow-Up Process
Enable callers to call back
Investigate allegations discreetly
Document the process
