Author: Professor D. Larry Crumbley, PhD, CPA, CFF, CrFA

A collection of Problem-Based Learning cases designed to reinforce principles taught in forensic accounting/auditing courses throughout the United States.

Each case:

1. lays out the basic principles and parameters of analysis to be applied in uncovering and proving fraudulent activity in domestic and/or international operations;
2. provides a fact pattern and supporting documentation that allow students to not only uncover illegal activity, but also to prove such fraud in a court of law under American rules of evidence and courtroom procedure;
3. is designed for students to perform forensic investigation, alone or in teams, with the instructor serving as a facilitator; and
4. includes secondary documents that either corroborate the superficial accounting information initially provided or reveal anomalies and discrepancies pointing to who, what, when, where, how, and why.

Forensic and Investigative Accounting (6th Edition)

Authors: Professor D. Larry Crumbley, CPA, CFD, Cr.FA,,
Lester E. Heitger, CPA,,
G. Stevenson Smith

This book is a complete and readily teachable text on today's most timely accounting topics. It covers all the important underpinnings, as well as the substance of forensic accounting. It covers both litigation support and investigative accounting, examining the practical aspects of these two areas, as well as many of the newer technological areas.

This book demonstrates how an effective forensic accountant needs a solid understanding of accounting, investigative auditing techniques, criminology, and courtroom procedures, as well as excellent communications skills, both written and oral. In today's litigious and highly regulated climate, all accountants — external, internal, forensic consultants, and corporate accountants — must possess this knowledge base and develop these techniques. This intriguing text provides unparalleled guidance to help develop the mindset and the skill set to meet the evolving challenges facing accountants today.

The 6th Edition includes new fraud schemes, numerous new eyewitness and spotlight stories, and new forensic techniques and tools, such as timeline analysis, link analysis, invigilation, genograms, proof of cash, entity charts, and full-and-false inclusion tests. This edition brings the reader up to date with the latest cybercrime activity and cases, and it documents the latest corruption schemes and explains how to find and prevent them.

Previously called:  FBAR Compliance Guide to Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide.

If one owns or has authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, unit trust or some other type of financial account, he or she may be required to make an annual report of the account to the Internal Revenue Service. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, each United States person must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (Form TD F 90-22.1), if the person has a financial interest in or signature authority (or other authority that is comparable to signature authority) over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds threshold amounts at any time during the calendar year.

In addition, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act), signed into law by President Obama in 2010, substantially incorporates the measures designed to stop tax evasion contained in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of 2009.

Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers with specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds must report those assets to the IRS on Form 8938, which will be attached to their federal income tax return. This reporting is in addition to the foreign bank account report, Form TDF 90-22.1 (FBAR).

The Form 8938 reporting is applicable to all “specified persons” who are considered to hold an interest in a “specified foreign financial asset” which meets the “reporting thresholds.” In December 2011, the IRS issued temporary (TD 9567) and proposed (REG-130302-10) regulations which provide guidance on the requirement that certain foreign financial assets be reported to the IRS for tax years beginning after March 2010. This requirement comes from Section 6038D which was added to the Internal Revenue Code under the HIRE Act.

The Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide is an essential resource because substantial civil penalties may be imposed for non-wilful violations and for wilful violations criminal penalties and imprisonment may be imposed in addition to the civil penalties.

This is an important new IRS compliance requirement with huge monetary civil penalties at stake as well as potential criminal consequences. It has ongoing compliance reporting requirements with enforcement teeth behind it and this publication provides the necessary guidance.

In Failure to Learn: The BP Texas City Refinery Disaster, respected OHS expert Professor Andrew Hopkins discusses the causes of a major explosion at the Texas City Oil Refinery on March 23, 2005, that killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others. Failure to Learn also analyses the similarities between this event and the Longford Gas Plant explosion in Victoria in 1998, featured in his earlier book Lessons from Longford.

Professor Andrew Hopkins is being recognized by the European Process Safety Centre in October 2008, in recognition of his contribution to safety. Professor Hopkins is the first winner to receive the award, outside of Europe, which is a demonstration of the impact of his valuable work worldwide.

Andrew has been awarded a prize by the European Process Safety Centre for “extraordinary contribution to process safety”, the first time this has been awarded outside of Europe. He also appears in the US Chemical Safety Board film on Texas City and has been invited to appear in a subsequent film.

Professor Hopkins poses questions such as:

• Why was the number of victims so large?
• Who was blamed for the explosion?
• What were the real causes?
• Had lessons been learnt from the earlier incident at Longford?
• Has anything changed as a result of the Texas City accident?

The foreword for the book was written by Carolyn Merritt, chair of the CSB at the time of the accident and subsequent inquiry.
