Benford's Law is a probability rule frequently used by accounting auditors to detect systematic fraud. It states that approximately 12.7% of numbers will begin with the number 2. An auditor decides to investigate a particular firm further if a sample proportion of their invoices, with the invoiced number beginning with a 2, is in the highest 0.5% of all possible sample proportions. What sample proportion will cause further investigation of the firm if a random sample of 591 invoices is selected? Express your answer in decimal form (ie not as a percentage), correct to two decimal places.

Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file....

CASE 20 Enron: Not Accounting for the Future* INTRODUCTION Once upon a time, there was a gleaming office tower in Houston, Texas. In front of that gleaming tower was a giant "E" slowly revolving, flashing in the hot Texas sun. But in 2001, the Enron Corporation, which once ranked among the top Fortune 500 companies, would collapse under a mountain of debt that had been concealed through a complex scheme of off-balance-sheet partnerships.
