Bermel Enterprises, Inc. is a supplier of computer programming consulting services to the federal government. In completing their time reports, Alex and Margot Frankel, two Bermel systems analysts, have consistently overstated the time they spent working on the government projects. These time reports determine how much money the government pays the company. Additionally, Michelle Laff, a manager at Bermel, has falsified the results of systems tests conducted on the computer systems installed for the government. As a result, the systems appear to be bug-free when, in fact, they contain many errors.

What criminal charges may the government bring against the employees? Against Larry Bermel, owner of Bermel Enterprises, Inc.? Against Bermel Enterprises, Inc. itself?
