Corporate Governance  Fraudulent Financial Reporting

List the three key persons (as identified in the textbook) responsible for management and oversight of a comprehensive compliance program. (Note that the Chief Executive Officer is not one of the three.) Describe and distinguish their respective roles and functions, and why each is necessary for an effective internal control system.

Properly cite at least three (3) professional, scholarly, peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course textbook and the Bible. The biblical integration should NOT be an afterthought (a devotional that has nothing to do with the content), but it should be purposefully integrated. Chapters are attached from the text book – Liberty University Custom: Girgenti et al. (2019). ACCT 650: Corporate governance & fraudulent financial reporting (Custom ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, Inc. ISBN: 9781307470505.
