It has been determined that many of the fraudulent insurance claims are being committed by an organized crime organization. The perpetrators' "modis operandi" has been to stage accidents in which damage to vehicles as well as loss due to physical injuries occurred by occupants of the vehicles are fraudulent insurance claims are reported to various insurance companies. Unscrupulous physicians such as chiropractors have been used to substantiate the injuries allegedly incurred by the various passengers in the vehicles. As a result of the investigations, many individuals have been arrested and charged for their criminal actions pertaining to the various staged automobile accidents. Most of the individual that have been arrested were paid to either drive or be a passenger in the vehicles that were involved in the stage accidents. Search warrants of the arrested individuals' residences have discovered that these individuals secured state diver licenses in various fraudulent names which allowed them to submit many fraudulent claims to several insurance companies throughout the state. Organizers of the stage accidents have been shown to be involved in the criminal activities through their direct involvement in the crimes or testimony by their co-conspirators. Whistleblowers at several insurance companies have contacted the special investigative units of the companies and alleged that several high-level managers were involved in the fraudulent insurance fraud claims It is alleged that the managers used their position with the company to facilitate the approval of the fraudulent claims which may have been denied without their involvement. The whistleblowers indicate that the managers were paid bribes by the criminal organizations to secure their assistance in the criminal activities. Efforts to substantiate the accusations made by whistle blowers have been unsuccessful. Traditional law enforcement techniques such as surveillances and other methods have failed to secure evidence associating the managers with the insurance fraud conspiracy. As is often the situation in actual criminal investigations, fraud investigators that have business and especially accounting skills are assigned to assist in the investigations. It has been determined that a fraud investigator will be assigned to examine the financial information of each of the three insurance claim managers that have been implicated as being involved in the fraud by the whistleblowers. Financial information has been obtained through the use of public records, subpoenas, and other methods of gathering financial information. As one of the fraud investigators assigned to the investigation, you have been assigned to examine the financial information of Ms. Sally Riley. Ms. Riley is a regional insurance claim manager for Security Insurance company. She is a well-respected member of the community and is known for her generous financial contributions to various charitable organizations. Financial information pertaining to Ms. Riley such as employment income, assets, liabilities, living expenses and other information is presented in the tables listed below. Your assignment to use a method of providing income to obtain circumstantial evidence to show that Ms. Riley is receiving income from an unknown source other than the known income that she is reporting for income tax purposes based on the financial information that has been gathered. The first task you must complete is to determine which of the methods of providing income described in the appendices is appropriate for the circumstances of the case. As part of your assignment, you will explain why the method was chosen and the other methods were not. Task2 After you have decided which method is appropriate, you will apply the method to the financial information provided to determine the amount of unknown income which was likely obtained from Ms. Riley's involvement in the insurance fraud scheme. Then, you will prepare a fraud report for the years 2016 - 2020 that will be addressed to Special Agent Carson Larson of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The report should describe the tasks that were performed and identify the documents or other evidence that was utilized to prepare the report. A conclusion should be clearly stated and a worksheet which demonstrates how the method of proving income was applied to the case should be attached. Take a look at appendix D which provides an example of a report and an attachment. Please be advised that the report is only being suggested as guide and it is not being stated that the net worth method is the appropriate method. You must determine based on the information provided which method is most appropriate. Task 3 The use of a method of proving income in a criminal investigation results in the development of circumstantial evidence that may indicate that the defendant has engaged in the illegal activity that is being investigated. However, circumstantial evidence is more vulnerable to potential defenses by the defendant that may cause the evidence to be deemed invalid than evidence that directly associates the individual with the criminal violation. Your final task is to discuss the potential defenses of the defendant against the circumstantial evidence developed by the chosen method and discuss ways to neutralize the defenses raised by the defendant. Assume that you were able to interview the defendant immediately after she was arrested.
