According to the ACFE website the fraud triangle is a model forexplaining the factors that cause someone to commit occupationalfraud. It consists of three components which, together, lead tofraudulent behavior. Those three components are perceivedun-shareable financial need, perceived opportunity andrationalization. Sampling is one way to check for fraud however itcan be in effective. For samplings to be totally effectiveorganizations will need to analyze all relevant transactions inorder to effectively test and monitor internal controls. TheDetecting and Preventing Fraud with Data Analytics e-book statesthat the primary reason to use data analytics to tackle fraud isbecause a lot of internal control systems have serious controlweaknesses. One of the key aspects of data analytics is the abilityfor the technology to maintain comprehensive logs of all activitiesperformed. Since, sampling is in-effective there needs to be afraud detection that is repetitive, picking samples with continuousanalysis. Ad-hoc investigate transactions and see if there’sanything to indicate fraud or opportunities for fraud to beperpetrated. With the data analytics it can calculate statisticalparameters and look for outliers or values that exceed averages orare outside of standard deviations. Look at high and low values andfind anomalies there. Last but not least examine classification ofdata.

EBIT and Leverage Beckett, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $280,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $21,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. Beckett is considering a debt issue of $90,000 with an interest rate of 6 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. 1. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also, calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession 2. Repeat part (a) assuming that Beckett goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe?

Recently, there has been a rapid rise in the number of pay-for-performance programs globally that offer physicians and medical groups financial incentives for meeting primary healthcare goals. What market failures do incentives for quality (pay for performance systems or P4P) address? What market failures are incentives for quality (P4P) unable to address? If you were writing a policy paper for the World Bank on pay for performance systems, how would you recommend that the design of these programs be customized to different types of health systems?
