Yes, and not helped by the fact that Dealer principals don’t always understand the scope of work their CPA is engaged to perform during the tax preparation process. Too frequently, the Office Manager is blindly trusted and doesn’t receive proper oversight by the CPA. It’s no accident that sloppy books and fraud are often found together.

If a dealership had perfect internal controls, the office staff would double in size, which isn’t going to happen. However, there’s plenty a dealer can do to mitigate theft, and it starts with outside reviews and what’s called management’s “tone at the top.”

Champion and the BMW dealership cited are just the ones that caught media attention, and not because fraud is rare.

Nobody found him, wow.
Maybe he got away with it, never to be seen again then?

I heard from someone that’s he’s in Trinidad.

LOL

It’s much easier to hide when no ones looking for sure.

Seems like a lot of guys got their cars finally?? Anyone still waiting?

Shiraaz still missing?? Hard to believe he might have gotten away with this.

Would make sense. Dave Maraj his uncle was from there too.

I think this is likely the case ... finding him would expose more problems and fraud than not finding him.
