FRAUD SCHEME
A purchasing agent for a large hardware retailer has sole discretion in selecting vendors for the parts and supplies sold by the company. The agent directs a disproportionate number of purchase orders to a supply company owned by the agent’s brother in law, which charges above-market prices for its products. The agent’s relationship with the supplier is unknown to his employer.
