Abstract

This two‐part case focuses on indicators or red flags of a possible fraud being committed by a majority shareholder against a minority shareholder. The student assumes the role of an accountant investigating the possible fraud. In Part 1 the student is provided with a whistleblower complaint and examines the draft financial statements that will be used for the purchase price of the sale of shares by the minority shareholder to the majority shareholder. In Part 2 the student is provided with further information on inventory controls and the accounting practices. Drawing on the student's knowledge of control systems and financial statement analysis, the student's task is to identify the possible fraudulent transactions and quantify their effect. Bar sportif chez Jack Cette étude de cas en deux parties porte sur les indicateurs, ou sonnettes d'alarme, d'une fraude possiblement commise par un actionnaire majoritaire au détriment d'un actionnaire minoritaire. L'étudiant joue le rôle d'un comptable qui enquête sur la fraude possible. Dans la partie 1, l'étudiant reçoit une plainte d'un lanceur d'alerte et examine les états financiers temporaires qui seront utilisés pour établir le prix des parts qui seront vendues par l'actionnaire majoritaire à l'actionnaire minoritaire. Dans la partie 2, l'étudiant obtient plus d'information sur les mécanismes de contrôle des stocks et les pratiques comptables. En s'appuyant sur sa connaissance des systèmes de contrôle et son analyse des états financiers, l'étudiant doit détecter les transactions frauduleuses possibles et quantifier leurs effets.
