Online sales of fake audit reports: 8 people including Zuo have been sentenced for providing false proof documents
2023-06-28
No audit procedures need to be followed, no company reports need to be consulted, only data needs to be provided, and an audit report can be obtained in 30 to 40 minutes. A year ago, a lead transferred by an administrative department led to a case of false audit reports for online sales. Recently, the Wucheng District Procuratorate of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province filed a public prosecution, and 8 people including Zuo were sentenced by the court for the crime of providing false documents. Originally, Zuo brothers and sisters operated an accounting firm that provided audit services for small and medium-sized enterprises. In recent years, due to increasingly fierce industry competition, they have begun to seek business opportunities online. Before 2019, we all required the other party to provide reports, but after 2020, we simply let it go. It's too crazy, "said Zuo. Since then, they have purchased several stores on a certain e-commerce platform and sold audit reports online. The price of a report ranges from a few hundred to several thousand yuan, and they only need the other party to provide data and fill in a fixed template. Within a few minutes, they can complete an audit report, which is then stamped with the personal seal of the registered accountant or asset appraiser affiliated with the company and the official seal of the accounting firm, A seemingly seamless audit report was freshly produced. Even the brothers and sisters of Zuo did not expect that the demand for this "new" business was enormous. In just over a year, they took over 30000 orders, made a profit of over 50 million yuan, and even opened branches in Xi'an and other places to absorb the constantly influx of orders. In October 2021, the Ministry of Finance issued a notice on carrying out special rectification work in the asset appraisal industry, focusing on rectifying the behavior of asset appraisal institutions or asset appraisers selling asset appraisal reports through online platforms or other media, and rectifying the behavior of asset appraisers attaching their qualifications to asset appraisal institutions but not actually practicing. Almost at the same time, the Jinhua Public Security Bureau received a clue transferred by the administrative department, saying that an online store registered in Jinhua was suspected of selling false audit reports, and the amount involved was large. The public security organ quickly organized personnel to carry out landing verification of the clue. So far, the "business" of a brother and sister Zuo has surfaced. The public security organ has captured 32 suspect in the production and sale of false audit reports, destroyed three criminal dens in Beijing, Xi'an and Jiangsu, and seized a large number of property involved in the case, such as company seals, U shields and computers. Later, the case was included in the first batch of cases under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security's 100 day campaign, the national cluster campaign, and the dual supervision cases of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Finance. At the beginning of 2022, after the case was transferred to the Wucheng District Procuratorate for review and prosecution, the case handlers held joint discussions with the financial and public security departments for many times to analyze the case from the perspective of law, finance and taxation. The case involves more than 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions across the country, involving the purchase of false reporting entities, affiliated certified public accountants, general staff, online store promotion, and "scalpers". The subjective aspects, participation level, role size, and profits of the above-mentioned personnel vary. The procuratorial organs have reached a consensus with the public security organs in a timely manner to distinguish and dispose of them. The 8 defendants who organized and participated in the main crimes were directly punished by filing a case, and the affiliated certified public accountants and general staff scattered throughout different regions were handed over to the local judicial department in the form of lead transfer
