Fraud Civil Remedies
Hi Professor! Wow I wish I found this when I was doing research! It has amazing information. I never thought about organized crime being involved, but yes I can see it is a real possibility! I came across this government PDF on Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act; observations on the implementation. (PFCRA) They provide federal executive branch agencies with an administrative remedy for small-dollar fraud cases for false claims and statements. It includes; liability of incriminated allegations to have been made, presented or submitted false, fictitious or fraudulent claims or statements are determined during administrative proceedings by federal executive branch agencies or other qualified individuals authorized under the PFCRA to be a presiding

    Occupational fraud is defined as the use of a person’s job for individual enrichment through the purposeful mishandling or misapplication of his or her employer’s capital or assets (Wells, 2005). Occupational fraud can have a serious impact with far-reaching consequences. In 2004 for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) conducted a survey that provided 508 usable studies of fraud for a total of over $761 million in losses. That number amount to an average of just under 1.5 million per organization. The fraud examiners that participated in the study had, on average, 16 years of experience and the study covered 16 different industries.…

    Although Yarushka’s family saw victory, It is hard to decipher just who won the case due to the fact that most False Claims Act cases are settled out of court before ever going to trial in order to avoid the severe consequences that may be imposed under the statute (Enstrom 2016). The penalty can range up to 11,000 per false claim and possibly triple the damages (Enstrom 2016).…

    Statute of Frauds

    Any contract for the sale of goods that exceeds $500 falls under the statute of frauds and must be in writing to constitute an enforceable contract. The contract between Tidwell and Anthony amounts to $50,000 and must be in writing to be enforceable, which presents the first issue in this problem. There are, however, alternative means of satisfying the Statute of Frauds. In this case, Tidwell provided Anthony with a good faith payment of $10,000 when the oral contract was entered into on June 1. This earnest payment falls under the partial payment rule. The UCC permits partial payment to satisfy the Statute of Frauds, but only for the quantity of goods that have been paid for. In this case, Tidwell should be entitled to the quantity that he should have received for the $10,000 when the oral contract was entered into on June 1, which would amount to 20 heads of cattle. The second issue in this problem arises from the price change that occurred on June 3; the price has reduced from $500/head of cattle to $400/head of cattle. In this case, Tidwell has the opportunity to realize a savings from Anthony’s repudiation and can purchase the cattle from a different seller for a lower price. Thus, Anthony would not owe Tidwell any additional damages other than putting him back in the position he was before the contract was entered into, which would require him to either return the $10,000 or provide him with 20 heads of…

    Statute Of Frauds

    Both “warranty” and “guarantee” have legal value, and can be enforced through a court of law, under their respective laws. For example, the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 protects consumers against unfair trade practices like making misleading representations about “guarantee” or “warranty”. However, given that guarantees can be ‘oral or written’ under Indian Contract Act, it becomes difficult to enforce an oral agreement of guarantee.…

    Internal Fraud Case Study

    This case is about the $4 million embezzlement fraud by an employee of a magazine publisher, and how the fraud was discovered. The type of fraud discovered was a billing scheme that was found on accident. A billing scheme is, “Any scheme in which a person causes his employer to issue a payment by submitting invoices for fictitious goods or services, inflated invoices or invoices for personal purchases.” 1 In this case, it just so happened that the new chief internal auditor decided to stop by the accounts payable department to collect a series of recently submitted invoices so that he could meet with the vice president to understand how the accounting codes work. In doing so, they found that a number of invoices had been forged. According to the 2010 Global Fraud Studies, “11% of the time, victim organizations either had to stumble onto the fraud or be notified of it by a third party in order to detect it.” 2 With coincidence one, the investigation revealed that the forgeries were coming from the painting operations in its facilities department, in which was overseen by Albert Miano. Miano started his scheme by creating false invoices for the jobs done by painters. He would not reinvoice exactly the same work done during a week, but he would make it look similar to where no one would ever become suspicious. The opportunity for Miano to commit fraud came into play when he was allowed to go and collect the approved invoices and insert his own replicated fraudulent invoices as approved. He also was the one who transported the invoices and collected…

    Statute Of Fraud Research Paper

    The statute of fraud is defined as, “a law that requires that certain contracts be in writing, and that those contracts be signed by the parties who are to be bound by the contract”. [1] The policy that underpins the Statue of Frauds was established during the reign of King Charles II through a statutory enactment requiring a written record for specified types of contracts. [2] These specified types of contracts could not be enforced unless a memorandum of it is written and signed by the party to be charged. [3] The basic rules include: 1. the stature does not require the entire contract to be written, but only a memorandum of it, 2. only the party who is to be charged, that is, against whom enforcement is sought, need to have signed it, and 3. The consequence of noncompliance is usually unenforceability, not invalidity. [4] This was to ensure that a person could not seek to enforce an obligation of the kind covered by the statute purely on the basis of unreliable and possibly perjured oral testimony, but would have to produce some adequate written record of the contract. [5] The writing can also help reduce the chance of any future litigation by giving the parties the opportunity to take a second look at the terms and conditions of their agreement before it becomes final. [6] Because of the advancement of communication through technology the adaptation of “writing” and “signature” has been required to take account of communication by other forms, particularly including electronic and media.

    False Claims Act Research Paper

    The False Claims Acts is the federal government’s primary civil remedy for improper or fraudulent claims. The False Claims Act prohibits activity that does not fall under the definition of fraud. Fraud is the actual knowledge and the intent to defraud. For example “On March 10,2000, the department of Justice filed claims under the FCA (False Claims Act) seeking recovery of over $1 billion from Vencor Inc., a long-term healthcare provider, for its alleged knowing submission of false claims. The Department of Justice alleged that Vencor was engaged in improper billing practices, claims for services never rendered, provision of medically unnecessary services, misrepresenting eligibility or credentials and substandard quality of life.” (Page 90)…

    Unlike the employee frauds, where it is important to look at why and not how. Employer frauds are the completely opposite. The why is simple, because they want to reduce costs thus increase profits. The how is what never ceases to amaze. In 2012, eight people are facing charges for Worker’s Compensation frauds and money laundering by involving in a check cashing scheme.

    Dealing With Fraud In The Healthcare Industry

    Showalter (2012) refers to duty of care as prudence that a reasonable person would carry out under the same or similar circumstances. Secondly, exercise of moral principles and ethics by employees effectively avoids deceitful action and mitigate fraudulent behaviors. For example, the fact that people should not lie is “based on the moral principle of respect for people’s autonomy. Principles are useful in discussions because people who do not agree … on certain actions may be able to agree in principle”(Blais, Hayes, Kozier, & Erb, 2006, p.54). Application of appropriate ethics in the work place will help boost organizational integrity and enhance productivity. Because it applies to the method of inquiry that help people understand the morality of other people (Blais et al. 2006), good ethical practice in the work place helps employees understand the behavior of various groups such as physicians or nurses. In all this, however, healthcare managers must be careful in the way they monitor compliance programs in the…
