Amari Trading runs 10 branches and pays for a variety of expenses. Samantha, the Accounts Payable Clerk of Amari Trading writes the checks for each supplier and the Accounting Manager signs the checks. Samantha decided she needs a raise, and the Manager told her to wait for six months. Samantha devised a plan to get a raise on her own. She created a new supplier account for her friends business, Finest Auto Scraps. Samantha also created two purchase orders for Finest Auto Scraps for $20,000 and $15,000 and wrote checks to pay these invoices. She knows the Manager will sign all checks only looking at the checks over $30,000. She delivers the checks to her friend who will encash the checks and give the money to Samantha. Is this a good way for Samantha to obtain a raise? Eventually, what will be the effect of her actions? How can Amari prevent this type of incident?
