Investigative Project Design

This aspect of the three-part assignment will relate to the case you described. Assume you are a fraud examiner available for hire.Provide a discussion of the approach you, as an investigator, would use to look into a lead received about the possible fraud. The discussion should include several steps and indicate what documents you anticipate will be available and important during your investigation, whether interviews of individuals will be involved, who those individuals might be, and how you might analyze the collected information.

Assume you have received a general lead, but not all of the facts you laid out in your case presentation. Think through what type of actionsmay have occurredor might betaking placeduring your investigation. What records might be a good source to investigate the situation? Oral evidence through interview of individuals can be helpful, but documents are necessary to confirm oral evidence. How can you relate oral evidence to documents you expect to find?

This investigative design can be provided in prose or narrative writing, or as a clearly defined numbered list. For those with audit background, this list would be much like an audit program--a sequential list showing a supervisor the expected path you anticipate the investigation to take. The Investigative Design can be posted as a separate document to the Investigative Project Design assignment folder in LEO, or as a single document below your Case Presentation paragraphs. If you follow the latter approach, you will be able to view both the case description and your proposed investigative approach on the same document. This might be one-half to one page of narrative. Although not limited, a step-by-step list would probably include no more than ten steps for most cases. When the submitted Investigative Design documents are reviewed, if posted with the case design, only the section about the investigation will be reviewed and graded.

A word of caution here! If a list of steps is provided,there needs to be enough wording that a reader can understand what actions you plan to takeduring the investigation. This is about explaining to a supervisor how you plan to pursue this fraud. A supervisor, if approving your plan, would be committing your organization to spend the funds to support your efforts and the related expenses. Professionalism in this submission is important.

References and in-text citations are appropriate for this part of the three-part assignment. These sources fortify the merit of yourapproach to the case and often provide insights into thesuitability of your approachto a specific case.

Draft Case on ATM Skimming Scenario According to the Corporate Fraud Handbook, skimming is "the removal of cash from a victim entity prior to its entry in an accounting system (Wells, 2013). Skimming can occur anytime, and it is hard to catch a culprit before it is too late because there is no records of the transactions ever happened. And the only way to really prevent skimming is to be aware of it. Below I will be discussing the scenario of possible case related to the cash skimming or skimming in general. Background The skimming took place near Washington DC at the ATM machine. When one of the customers arrived at the bank, he saw a man wearing a cap attempting to hide his face. The suspicious man then got into his car and drove off. Later on, the police arrested the individual for speeding. Police found about $7,000 in cash and 30 Starbucks gift cards encoded with the stolen bank account information when the sheriff searched suspect A's car. An individual worked in a group of three to set up ATM skimming devices at multiple locations and avoid detection. Investigative efforts revealed that three African students set up a skimming device in several locations, a box-shaped object covering the ATM's card insert slot. When they had collected enough information about the pin codes of the cardholders, they removed the device. Once the suspect had acquired the Starbucks gift cards, he transferred the stolen information to them. In 2016, African students came to the United States on a student visa. As of 2017. suspect "A" was charged with theft but released with a warning. The ATM skimming was organized by suspect "A" with two other African nationals, suspects "B" and "C." It took place between 2018 and 2021. During that period, they were able to scam over $260,000. They worked undetected for about three years, utilizing disguises caps and female wigs. During Covid-19 as well, they used masks for added coverage. Skimming machines were often set up outside the district in rural areas. Since people weren't expected to be scammed, making it easier to obtain information. However, the suspects were finally captured during the incident involving the speeding of the suspects "A.&quot
