Once bitten, twice shy. That precisely explains why banks reeling under the weight of crushing bad loans are increasingly turning to forensic audit of company balance sheets. This is to check any misuse of the loaned amount as they are turning suspicious of the rising near-bankruptcy claims. EY, formerly known as Ernst & Young, said its fraud investigation team has received at least

seven such requests from public sector banks in the last one year, much higher by any yardstick. The reasons are no rocket science. With the economy wobbling, bad loans are rising to alarming proportions. So, the profitability has come under strain, especially for the stateowned ones. And this is serving as a perfect alibi for promoters to divert money for their personal ends. The situation is so grim that the last fiscal saw net non-performing assets (NPAs) for public sector banks (PSBs) firming up by as much as 2% of total loan books. “There is pressure from the finance ministry to reduce net NPA to 1%. Forensic audits have increased because NPAs have gone up and are putting pressure on the balance sheet,” said an executive director with a large PSU lender. In

    Cbi Holdings Inc

    CBI Holding a New York based firm serves as the parent company for several wholly owned subsidiaries. Ernst and Young became CBI’s independent auditors and performed audits for CBI’s financial statements from 1990 through 1993. Ernst and Young failed to investigate the alleged advances and conform to clients facts which may include investigating credit limit and analyzing vendor’s payable accounts. Instead the auditors record in their work papers the client’s feeble explanation for the advances. After investigations from a former CBI accountant and CBI controller, Ernst and Young have determined that CBI auditors had failed to detect unrecorded liabilities because they had failed to properly perform a search. Yet, Ernst and Young did not notify CBI’s board of directors of the 1992 and 1993 audit errors. Nevertheless, Ernst and Young made an effort to retain CBI as an audit client after determining that the 1992 and 1993 audits have been unsatisfactory.…

    Forensic Accounting

    Sonya Fuentaz, an IRS-enrolled agent, has been contracted for preparing an annual income tax return for Carlito Alverez. Sonya is a little apprehensive about the engagement because she’s heard rumors that Carlito is a major drug trafficker with roots in Colombia. Sonia visits his home to discuss the details of his return and she’s shocked by the opulence she sees because the house is on 2 acres of land just west of the Intracoastal Waterway in Miami Beach. The land is completely surrounded by canals and connected to the rest of the city only via a narrow bridge that has small guardhouse and a security team protecting the entrance to the driveway. She sees other uniformed security guards walking around the perimeter of the property. The three story house appears to be as large as a small city block. She’s escorted by a housekeeper to a rear patio and garden where Alverez is sipping a martini and watching the large boats go by.…

    Discussion Question 1

    Auditors also had a hand in the subprime mortgage crisis. An example of this is the case of New Century Financial, one of the largest subprime lenders. New Century Financial exaggerated their profits and relied on these exaggerated profits to cushion them from the blow of defaulted mortgages on troubled home loans. The company responsible for auditing New Century Financial, KPMG, still proceeded with the proverbial auditor’s “stamp of approval” (‘Lender Failed’, 2008). This, in turn, gave investors who bought these subprime mortgages false confidence in the lenders.…

    The Importance of Dna Evidence

    What is DNA? Is it these winding strands that look like ladders or is it what gives a person blonde hair and blue eyes? Actually, DNA is both of these things. DNA is a person’s genetic makeup–their hereditary blueprint passed on by their parents. It is a part of almost every cell in the human body. In each cell, a person’s DNA is the same; it stays the same throughout their lifetime. DNA is found in skin tissue, sweat, bone, the root and shaft of hair, earwax, mucus, urine, semen, and vaginal or rectal cells. The DNA found in a person’s saliva is the same as the DNA found in their blood. Parts of the DNA determine our physical characteristics, such as eye and hair color, height, and bone structure, but the DNA collected from the crime scene is for evidentiary purposes only and not to determine an assailant's physical characteristics.
