Problems:
- Determine whether there is a likelihood of fraudulent income based on the review of information you were able to obtain from your Internet search. If there is a likelihood of fraudulent income, calculate the amount. (Hint: Using the net worth method, calculate potential income from unknown sources for the years based on the unexplained increase/decrease in Stu’s assets and liabilities.) You must show how you calculated the amounts.
- As the lead forensic investigator, discuss the process that you would take during your interview with Stu to get him to confess. Include specific questions that you would ask, considering the order they should be asked.
Respond to the above Problems a and b. Your response to Problem a must be prepared in an Excel spreadsheet, showing formula and calculations as applicable. The Excel spreadsheet for problem a must be submitted along with your response to Problem b in Word document. (Two documents submitted, total.)
Requirements:
- Write a paper of 2 pages in length for Problem b (double spaced), not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.
- Use terms, evidence, and concepts from class readings, including professional business language.
- Cite at least 3 sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook.
- Start with the links under the Research Help and Writing Help tabs on the CSU Global Library's homepage if you need assistance with writing style. (The Writing Center [or Library] link can be found in the left side navigation panel of Canvas).
