When Apple (www.apple.com) introduced the Apple Watch in April 2015, industry analysts had a hard time predicting how consum- ers would react.

However, because no tangible goods are delivered, a receiving report is not prepared. When the Accounting Department receives an invoice billing Timber Solution for a service call, the accounts payable assistant calls the manager who requested the service to verify that it was performed. The fraud scheme involves Johnson Parry, the manager of plant and facilities. Johnson arranged for a company, Bamber Services, to be placed on Timber Solution approved supplier list.
