Exercise 23

As a result of the system audit performed by one of the Big 4 accounting firms at Deming Medical's corporate offices, it was discovered that Paula, one of the payroll supervisors, had system access rights to transaction codes used by the HR staff. Consequently, it was determined that Paula took advantage of the situation and created a fake employee to whom she was issuing a paycheck every two weeks; only the checks went to Paula's banking account. Andrew Jacobsen, an investigator working on the case, did extensive research, details of which led him to believe that Paula was embezzling. Andrew is about to go in for a final interview with Paula.
