Understanding The Value Of Mitigating Fraud Risk For Small Businesses With Cash Management, Vivian Denkins
Mathematics and Computer Science Capstones
Most companies are interested in increasing their revenue, growing their customer base, and maintaining their business for as long as the market will allow. While some businesses are looking to last beyond the average life cycle of 10 years (U.S. Small Business Office of Advocacy, 2018), most do not consider fraud as a major impact that could end their business. Fraud does exist, even for the small business owners. However, most owners decide to take their chances against fraudulent schemes and carefully guard their business using their own measures.

Are Firm Emissions Data Likely To Be Accurate Under Carbon-Dioxide Cap & Trade Programs? An Economic Analysis, Kyle Beck
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
Numerous policy makers around the world have implemented carbon dioxide (CO2) cap and trade programs in an effort to combat global climate change.

The lack of clarity makes this a hazard for accountants and attorneys involved in tax preparation. Against this backdrop, this paper provides a literature review exploring the history of the issues, current guidelines as decided by court cases, and research done with regards to …

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap): Uncovering The Fraud, Ada Torres
Economic Crime Forensics Capstones
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), once labeled the Food Stamp Program, was constructed mainly to boost low-income households’ capabilities in regards to purchasing food in order to maintain a satisfactory nutritional, low-cost diet. The program accomplishes this by providing benefits as a supplemental income to recipients in order to allow them to purchase certain foods. The federal government supplies the funds for the benefits and transfers the obligation to the states as far as administrating the program. Specifically, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is liable for defining the program regulations and confirming that the states are complying with …
