- Fraud and SOX failure
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Sarbanes-Oxley was supposed to clamp down on fraud and restore investor confidence. Now new figures show how badly it failed. Despite tougher anti-fraud measures, three out of four certified fraud examiners feel fraud is more prevalent today than it was in 2002.

- Does the punishment fit the crime? Securities fraud and home invasion
  Posted by SoxFirst
  People have slammed the harsh sentences on Jeff Skilling and Bernie Ebbers as over the top. You get less for murder, they say. But lawyers say society now believes security fraud is as bad as aggravated robbery or home invasion.

  A new report shows that most fraudsters are not acting on their own. Usually it involves the CEO and CFO working together to cheat shareholders. The report also reveals that external auditors and directors might be in on it too.

- The typical fraudster - male, high level and trusted
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Here's a warning for anyone who thinks the typical fraud perpetrator is lower down in the food chain. Research shows most fraudsters are male, typically aged between 36 and 55, have usually been employed by the company for six or more years and typically work in the finance department.

Drilling for Dollars - Dentists at Small Smiles

Let’s face it, if you’re like most people, you probably dread going to the dentist. Quite frankly I don’t blame you. Going to the dentist can be a very frightening place to be, not only for kids…but also adult!. But that all has changed now. Not only can you maintain the health of your teeth and ehance your attractiveness, but you can do so without any pain or anxiety.

Easing up on fraud enforcement

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.
