Sherrie Software was a relatively new tech company. To keep attracting investors, Hawk, the President had to show year-to-year revenue growth. When his normal revenue streams stalled, he resorted to the tried-and-true channel stuffing technique. First, he improperly recorded shipments to his distributors as sales revenue; these shipments far exceeded the market demand for his products.
