Task II
Greetings The Board,
I have conducted an investigative analysis on invoicing data in which I performed a series of
checks designed to detect instances of fraud. Several red flag issues have been identified that
require appropriate action to correct the deviance from the Endothon Purchase and Payment
guidelines. The value of these potentially fraudulent invoices is $1469873.05 out of a total
invoicing of
$7313579.2, which indicates a significant portion of the invoicing is subject to possible
fraudulent activities.
Please see the summary below of issues:
• Vendor MacGuyver Group has an unallowable address on file in the form of a P.O box
instead of a physical address.
• Two invoices with the same invoice number, 12655, but different invoiced amounts exist
for vendor Davis and Wolff.
• Vendor Radiant Technologies and Davis Group have invoices that exceed the allowable
amount of $240000.00.
• Vendor Regulator Inc. has three invoices with identical amounts of $12,884.00, these
payments are for insurance, and should be investigated to confirm they are for separate
expenses.
• Employee Tina Cruz shares an address with vendor Adams Inc.
• Vendors Davis and Wolff and Kuvalis Fisher and Jacobs share the same address, with
Kuvalis Fisher and Jacobs appearing in the vendor list twice due to a misplaced comma in
the initial data entry.
• Four vendors have been paid but are not in the approved vendor list. They are: Harris
Sons, Daniel Group, Radiant Technologies, and Regulator Inc.
