ACCT 574 DeVry Case Study
The accounting scandals over the past several years have greatly influenced contemporary culture of Forensic
Accounting. Describe the events that have influenced forensic accounting as follows:
1. Identify an accounting scandal at a corporation that has resulted in a loss of reputation to the accounting
profession. Explain the crime(s) committed.
2. As a result of these accounting scandals, the AICPA recognized the need for accounting professionals to
change their attitudes toward fraud detection by revising SAS 99. List at least four of the significant changes
made to SAS 99 and explain your answer.
Assignment Guidelines:
For the company selected in question #1:

of high blood pressure. Often, the symptoms are directly described in the case, whereas the problem(s) usually
are not. If necessary, indicate how the problems are related to one another.)
2. Here is where you should include a response to the question - What has happened to the key players since
the events in this case? Use appropriate references supporting problem definition and subsequent experience
of key players (avoid using blogs or Wikipedia).
Analyze the situation. Explain the mechanisms that are causing the problem or problems (use appropriate theories to
show how the problem(s) identified above cause the symptoms of ineffectiveness in the case. Present examples found
in the case study that support your argument).
