Locate an interesting real-life example of fraud and discuss the following:

• The case (for example, name the individual and organization involved)
• Type of fraud
• The scope of the fraud
• The outcome of the case
• The impact of an audit on the organization in your example

Your fraud example must come from a scholarly source other than your textbook, such as the ACFE website or theJournal of Forensic and Investigative Accounting.

In response to your peers, discuss the professional responsibilities of the auditor in the example provided by your classmates. How did the fraud that you chose differ from the fraud your peer chose?
