...FSCJ 4340 Final Exam Tasks of Preliminary Investigation A preliminary investigation is the actions taken at the scene of a crime immediately following its detection and report to the police. This may include; receiving the information about the crime and initial response, providing emergency care to victims, crime scene control, putting out BOLO alerts, crime scene determination, gathering evidence, and the report. So, a preliminary investigation basically consists of securing the crime scene, determining where exactly the crime scene is going to be, controlling the crime, and all the little things in between. The senior officer and his partner are responsible for this. The first and most important step in any crime scene investigation is to secure the scene. The crime scene should be approached in a manner that maximizes the safety of any potential victims, witnesses, others in that area, and the officers on the scene. Officers should work to preserve and protect any evidence that could potentially be lost or compromised from weather; (footprints and tire tracks). Once the crime scene is secured, officers should control the scene by identifying and removing people that don’t belong from the crime scene. Controlling the crime scene is described as the actions which the first arriving officer(s) at the crime scene take to make sure that the integrity of the scene is maintained. This can prevent contamination of any evidence, and/or destroying physical...

...Crime Scenes Crime scene investigation is the meeting point between science, logic and law. Processing a crime scene is and long and tedious process and is the job of crime scene investigators (CSI). CSI has the responsibilities of collecting, documenting, preserving, reconstructing and presenting evidence. It is their job to examine any physical evidence that could remotely shed any light on what happened and who is responsible. There are no typical crime scenes, evidence or investigative approaches and every crime scene should be approached in a systematic sense. According to Robert R. Ogle Jr., a crime scene search is defined as a systematic, methodical search for any physical evidence at a crime scene. When a crime has been committed, law enforcement team members use many scientific methods, along with their natural intuition and skill, to discover who is responsible. In modern crime scenes, finger and shoeprints, hair, blood, bones, and even DNA are used to help solve the puzzle and catch the criminal. Criminals find newer, cleaner, and smarter ways to kill, while the criminal investigators and forensic scientists, find newer, cleaner, and smarter ways to catch the criminal. Investigating a crime scene can take hours, sometimes days. Scene processing is the term applied to the series of steps taken to investigate a crime scene. Although the methods and techniques may differ between the experts involved, their goals are the same: to reconstruct the exact...

According to Luanne Kelchner editor for eHow, “Forensic accountants must have an analytical personality to perform well in the job. According to the American Institute of CPAs, a group of lawyers, CPAs and forensic accountants they rated being analytical as the most important characteristic for an Forensic Accounting 3 individual to have in the field. This characteristic helps the accountant analyze financial documents to find errors and evidence in a legal case” (p.1). Creativity is another skill they should have because they need to think and understand what is possibly going...

...to emergencies. The first thing you do when you are assigned an internal audit or an external audit is to set audit objectives. This task is what makes it an audit and not a fishing expedition. Generally, the audit objectives of an internal audit will correspond to the type of audit: operational, financial, or compliance. After the audit objectives are known, then a preliminary survey is done to understand as much about the auditee’s operations as possible. This survey entails interviewing key employees, observing operations, and reading or examining documents and records. When the preliminary survey is completed, then an audit program is written, listing the audit procedures that will be done during the audit. A budget is then estimated based on the audit program. For large, public companies a brainstorming session is required. Once they have completed the audit tests, the auditors can review the evidence gathered and reach conclusions which are then reported to management. Once the report is issued and managements responds, then a follow-up visit is made to ensure that the issues identified in the audit report are addressed. Walker told Douglass that the modern internal auditing profession was only 50 years old. In 1941, the institute of Internal Auditors or IIA was founded in New York City. The IIA is currently headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, near Orlando. This global organization has over 60,000 members representing nearly every nation. Over half of the members...

...The Criminal Justice System Individual Project Unit 1 October 8, 2012 @ 11:59 p.m. CST Authored by: April Still If a crime is committed the police are called to the scene to investigate, make a report and possibly an arrest. The role of a Police Officer is to serve and protect the community when a crime has or is being committed. The police are usually the first person to respond to the call. “The duty of a police officer is to enforce the law, investigate the crime that has been committed, apprehend the offender, reduce and prevent crime from occurring, maintain public order, ensure community safety, provide emergency and related community services and protect fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals.” (Schmalleger, F., 2012, chapter 1 page 10). Once the officer has investigated and talked to all witness present at the scene of the crime, the officer will make an arrest if there is probable cause. Once the criminal is arrested, he or she is taken into custody and sent to booking to be processed and finger printed. He will then be placed in a holding facility until an arraignment date. Police officers are involved in the investigative stage of a criminal defendant after a crime has been committed and before the defendant is proven guilty of any crime. A District Attorney is an elected or appointed official of a designated district whose duties are governed by state law.

...identified sixteen skills needed by forensic accountants. According to the study, the five most important skills are analytical skills, basic accounting skills, problem solving skills, data analysis skills and interviewing skills (McMullen & Sanchez, 2010). Forensic accountants need analytical skills because as they review financial reports and other source documents, they need to analyze the validity of each transaction and determine if the company recorded the transaction fairly. The forensic accountant needs the ability to analyze where the data came from and whether the data accurately reflects the numbers posted in the financial reports (McIntosh, n.d.). With an in house forensic accountant, this will ensure the company’s financial state is accurately reflected while an independent forensic accountant can verify the accuracy of the reports, both of which help investors determine if the company is worth investing in. “Accounting is widely regarded as the language of business” (McMullen and Sanchez, 2010, pg.1). As such, the need for basic accounting skills is self-evident, for a forensic accountant to be able to review financial reports and other source documents he needs to have an understanding of basic accounting. Without that understanding, the forensic accountant couldn’t determine if the entries in the financial journals are correct or if there is some kind of fraud being committed. As for the need for problem solving and data analysis skills,...
