- Booms, busts, fraud and Sarbanes-Oxley
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Fraud is most likely to occur in relatively good times, that the link between fraud and good times gets stronger as monitoring costs decrease. Fraud peaks towards the end of a boom and is then revealed in the bust that follows. It can increase if firms make more information available to the public.

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.
