In the Lа Sаlle University exаmple, is this fraud best categоrized as shell cоmpany, a nоn-accomplice vendor scheme, a personal purchases with company funds scheme, a payroll scheme or an altered check scheme? Why? Here is the La Salle Example: Founded in 1863, La Salle University is a private, co-educational, Roman Catholic university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. In 2010, Stephen Greb, a former La Salle University official was charged with funneling more than $5 million in school money through a bogus company he set up. According to the Daily Times News (10-26-2010), Greb had been the school’s director of auxiliary services, including oversight of food services and on-campus catering, until officials at La Salle fired him in June after they discovered the scheme. Operating the scheme over twenty years, authorities alleged that Greb had set up a fictitious food company through which he authorized payments from the school. According to NBC 10, the fake company was discovered after the university began using an enhanced invoice-control system. After being tipped off, university attorneys and a forensic accounting firm led an investigation into the scheme. According to news reports, Greb faced charges including theft, forgery, and tampering.

Reаd the fоllоwing scenаriо, аnd then answer the questions that follow. It is a Tuesday morning. Jim, a fraud examiner, is preparing for an interview with Leslie, an office employee, as part of his investigation of a company matter because her name came up in another interview as a potential person who might know something. They have arranged to meet in Jim's temporary office on site at the company. He is awaiting her arrival, sitting behind his desk. "Hello, I'm Leslie and here for an appointment with Jim," he hears someone say outside his partially open door after hearing a knock. "Come in," he says, while remaining seated at the desk. She enters, sits down in a chair across from the desk, and leaves the door open. Jim asks, "How are you?" She replies, "I'm fine. Just a little unsure of why I am here." Jim states, "Let me get to the point of this interview, Are you aware of any reasonably credible or plausible evidence that the allegations of fraudulent journal entries are true?" After a brief pause and a concerned look on Leslie's face, Jim follows: "Do you know anything about the financial statement shenanigans being talked about at the company? Do you know anything about the journal entries?" "No," Leslie replies. She becomes more nervous and quickly adds, "It only makes sense since they pay so little around here that someone would eventually do this." "Do you believe that Raymond might do this?" says Jim. "I can't imagine how someone might feel that it is OK to enter fictitious entries. He deserves to be caught and prosecuted if he has because only bad people do this," says Jim as he gets up and paces around the room. Leslie's eyes track Jim's progress around the room. She replies "No, I don't know anything." Jim asks one last question: "Have you ever considered entering fake journal entries?" Leslie responds, "No." Jim states that he doesn't see any point in continuing the interview. Leslie stands and leaves the room saying goodbye. This was not a productive interview. Highlight at least three issues with it. For each issue, explain why it is a problem and what should have been done instead. What are some key considerations CFEs should follow when conducting an interview? Please do not include anything that you use in your answer to the previous question. Why are interviews important for a forensic investigation?
