This course is designed to help professions better prepare for these questions by examining two infamous corporate scandals: 1) The Retail Empire: Crazy Eddie, and 2) The King of Cross-Sell: Wells Fargo. It details how Crazy Eddie applied various techniques to “cook the books” and deceive auditors. It explains how Wells Fargo employees engaged different types of sales practice misconduct to meet unrealistic sales targets. It also reviews the factors that led to the end of Crazy Eddie and Wells Fargo’s widespread customer abuses. Moreover, it discusses lessons learned from both cases that can result in improved audit processes. It identifies specific mistakes made by Crazy Eddie’s auditors and discussed what the auditors should have done.
