Summary
This fraud investigation case involves a United States-based funding organization, Lemondale Foundation, and a management consulting firm based in Ghana called Cooper Consulting Ltd. (CCL). Lemondale initiated a forensic audit of its funding of projects in Ghana because it suspected CCL agents were abusing and misusing its funds. Based on an ongoing fraud case involving funding from developed nations and some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working in developing nations, the names of the characters have been changed to avoid tampering with ongoing investigations. The case teaches how data analytics tools, such as data splitting, joining, and duplicate search, can aid audit planning and execution.
