Question

Charlene DiAngelo is a sales manager for Northwest Paper & Plastics. On April 11, she took some clients out for a business lunch to discuss a potential contract. When she returned to the office, she made a photocopy of her restaurant receipt. Using correction fluid, she changed the date on the photocopy to read June 11. She submitted the original restaurant receipt with a reimbursement request on April 11 and held on to the photocopy for 2 months. On June 12, she submitted the altered photocopy along with a second reimbursement request. What type of fraud scheme did DiAngelo commit?a. Altered receipt

b. Fictitious expense reimbursement
c. Billing
d. Multiple reimbursement

Answer 1

D) Multiple reimbursement

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiple reimbursement scheme happens when an employee submits a reimbursement request for the same expense more than once. Generally different types of supporting documentation is presented every time, e.g. one time they might present an invoice, on another time they might present a confirmation email, etc.

In this case, Charlene is requesting a second reimbursement for an expense that already has been reimbursed.
