Explanation of financial fraud types and calculation of revenue loss within EFCC operations.

Question

Fraud is described as an intentional act involving deception to obtain an unjust or illegal advantage. It involves the presentation of a statement or representation made recklessly or without the belief in the truth or suppression of facts.

The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) is a criminal investigation organisation in charge of investigating financial crimes involving politicians, economic saboteurs, and electoral fraudsters. EFCC’s “modus operandi” is such that any suspect or ‘accused’ must deposit all his money and other belongings with the exhibit section headed by Mr. Oripipe, a cashier, who is expected to pay all cash receipts collected by him to the Banking officer. The banking officer issues a revenue receipt to the Cashier.

Mrs. Innocent, the resident auditor, conducted a physical cash survey and discovered that the total amount on the duplicate receipt book with the banking officer is N4,550,000, which does not agree with the actual cash paid in. It was suspected that the organisation has been defrauded.

The following information relates to the deposits collected from January to December 2013:

Cash from Honourable Talaka: N12,500
Cash from a container with five suitcases, each containing N250,000: N1,250,000
Cash recovered from Anine, a criminal that raided Ifako bank: N4,000,000
Cash sales of impounded lace: N425,000
Five boxes containing consumable items earlier disposed of for N16,000, mistakenly kept in Mr. Oripipe’s drawer, were later discovered by the auditor.
On investigation, it was discovered that the banking officer was illegally removing N500 from every N2,500 paid to him by the cashier.

Required:

a. Explain briefly FOUR types of financial fraud. (4 Marks)

b. Prepare the correct statement of deposits from detainees as it should be in Mr. Oripipe’s records and identify the shortfall due to his negligence. (10 Marks)

c. Calculate the amount of cash lost by the government as a result of the fraud. (6 Marks)
