Heading 1 Heading 2 Paragraph Styles Well, if that wasn't a full enough day, the CEO comes to see you. George Smothes shuts the door and says "we've got a problem". He proceeds to tell you that he has just met with the auditors of the park's financial records. George informs you of the following: The audit has uncovered that Chris Richards, Director of Communications, who has been employed with the park for less than a year has been using the business credit card for personal expenses. Personal expenses on a corporate credit card are a violation of the park's corporate policies. Chris has been charging all sorts of items, from expensive clothes, fancy dinners, unauthorized trips, pricey hotel accommodations and even "couple's retreat" to the credit card. Some of them appear to be work related, most are not. Thousands of dollars have been expensed each month and this has been going on for over 8 months. George is clearly worried about several aspects of this situation, including the fact that the park is publicly funded, and the audit report will become publicly known in a matter of days. He thinks there will be media frenzy and the public will be up in arms about it. George explains that he called Chris Richards into his office and reviewed this with him. Chris appeared shocked to learn that he could not charge personal expenses to the corporate credit card, said that he was unaware of the policy, and had never received any training on the policy. Chris stated that he was very sorry for the mistake, he was now aware that he could not do that and that he would reimburse the park for his personal expenses. Following this meeting, George met with the CFO, Bettie Boulet. According to Bettie, she had informed Chris of the inappropriate use of the credit card about 6 months ago and that he stated he would stop. She could not properly explain why she did not report this to George other than to say she did not want to worry him". She did say she now regrets not coming to GE LAYOUT REFERENCES MAILINGS REVIEW VIEW Title Subtitle Sul ont ] . . x Amy A. EEEE . >. 1 Normal 1 No Spac...
