Fraud Case C–1
Didrikson Rubin, the auditor of Red Barn Farm Equipment, was verifying cash payments to vendors for
the past several months. She noticed that several checks had been paid to a specific vendor, but she
couldn’t find a record of the transactions in the computerized system. Didrikson suspects that an
employee is issuing checks to a fictitious “vendor” and then deleting the transactions from the
computerized system. How might Didrikson investigate the suspected fraud?
