ACC 557 - Research an example of fraud by inventory misstatement

ACC 557

Using the Internet or Strayer databases, research an example of fraud by inventory misstatement for a public company in the last five (5) years. Next, explain this incident, including the particulars of how the fraud was achieved and how it was detected.

Research clearly shows that whistleblowers are the best detection method. Explain the role whistleblowers played in the fraud example you selected previously, or how a whistleblower would have enhanced the detection of that fraud example. Provide support for your response.
