After it was released by the Committee, Sen.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

    Journal of Business Case Studies – September/October 2012 Volume 8, Number 5 Auditing Cases That Made A Difference: Funds Of Funds Bruce A. Struach, The Citadel, USA Sheila D. Foster, The Citadel, USA ABSTRACT A few fraud cases stand out for the impact they have had on the auditing profession. These cases continue to affect how today’s auditing professionals perform the critical job of expressing opinions on financial statements. Names and dates of certain cases appear in nearly all auditing textbooks, but rarely are the stories behind these cases presented. Fund of Funds is an international case so convoluted that it is difficult to tell the players without a score card. It spanned the globe from the Arctic wastelands to European palaces, across the Atlantic to Costa Rican hideaways and then traversed the United States to Hollywood movie lots. It included contact with a couple of US Presidents and a foreign leader thrown in for good measure. Like other “Audit Cases That Made a Difference,” Fund of Funds clearly shows students that fraud is not limited to today’s corporations and that there is, indeed, little that is new under the sun. Keywords: Auditing; Fraud; Auditor Liability; Fund of Funds INTRODUCTION he dollar amounts in the Fund of Funds fiasco seem puny by today’s standards, but at the time, the amounts involved were huge and so was the fraud that was taking place. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) went after Robert Vesco for $224 million, an amount equal to about T 1 $1 billion today. The fraud was so convoluted that it is still difficult to tell the players without a score card (Figure 1).

  • Cuba-US Relations
    Order Code RL30386 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Cuba-U.S. Relations: Chronology of Key Events 1959-1999 Updated December 14, 1999 -name redacted- Specialist in Latin American Affairs with the assistance of Suzanne L. York Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress Cuba-U.S. Relations: Chronology of Key Events 1959-1999 Summary This chronology outlines major events in U.S.-Cuban relations from Fidel Castro's rise to power in 1959 through 1999. The chronology provides more detailed information on events since 1994, including U.S. legislative action and congressional hearings and significant economic and political events in Cuba. In the 1960s, U.S.-Cuban relations deteriorated quickly as the Castro government espoused Communism and aligned itself with the Soviet Union. After Cuba began expropriating U.S. property in 1960, the United States began imposing economic sanctions. In 1961, diplomatic relations were broken in January, and in April the United States sponsored the failed Bay of Pigs invasion led by Cuban exiles to overthrow Castro. President Kennedy imposed a near total embargo on Cuba in February 1962. In the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States confronted the Soviet Union over the introduction of nuclear missiles in Cuba. In the 1970s, there were some efforts toward normalizing relations, but these were undermined by Cuba’s policy of supporting revolutionary movements abroad. The U.S. embargo was modified in 1975 to allow U.S. foreign subsidiaries to trade with Cuba. Under the Carter Administration, the United States essentially lifted its ban on travel with Cuba and “interests sections” were established in Havana and Washington in 1977.
