9. SALES SKIMMING WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?

10. 10 Skimming Theft of cash from a victim entity prior to its entry in an accounting system – “Off-book” No direct audit trail Its principal advantage is its difficulty to be detected.

11. 11 Sales Skimming Employee makes a sale of goods or services, collects the payment, and makes no record of the transaction. Pockets the proceeds of the sale Without a record of the sale, there is no audit trail.

12. 12 Sales Skimming Cash register manipulation – “No Sale” or other non-cash transaction is recorded. – Cash registers are rigged so that sales are not recorded on the register tapes. – No receipt is issued. After hours sales – Sales are conducted during non-business hours without the knowledge of the owners. Skimming by off-site employees – Independent salespeople – Employees at remote locations – branches or satellite offices away from the primary business site

13. RECEIVABLES SKIMMING WHAT IS IT? WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?

14. 14 Receivables Skimming More difficult than skimming sales – There is a record of the sale. – Collection is expected. Customers are notified when payment is not received and will most likely complain. Lapping Force balancing Stolen statements Fraudulent write-offs or discounts Debiting the wrong account Document destruction

15. 15 Receivables Skimming Lapping – Crediting one customer’s account with payment received from another customer – Keeping track of payments becomes complicated. – Second set of books are sometimes kept. Force balancing – Posting to the customer’s account without depositing the check creates an imbalance condition. – Cash account is overstated so the amount skimmed must be forced in order to balance the account. Stolen statements – Employee steals or alters the account statement or produces counterfeit statements. – May change the customer’s address in order to intercept the statement

16. 16 Receivables Skimming Fraudulent write-offs or discounts – Write off the account as bad debt. – Post entries to a contra revenue account – “discounts and allowances.” Debiting the wrong account – Debit an existing or fictitious A/R. – Wait for the A/R to age and be written off. Destroying or altering records of the transaction – Often a last ditch effort to conceal the fraud – Makes it more difficult to prove the fraud
