Review the Freescale Semiconductor case, located in Chapter 9 of
your textbook.
Prepare a twelve to twenty (12-20) slide PowerPoint presentation with
speaker notes in which you:
1. Give your opinion as to whether or not additional laws and harsher
penalties on financial fraud can eliminate or mitigate financial fraud.
Support the rationale.
2. Suggest three (3) new strategies that you believe the government can
implement to eliminate or mitigate insider trading. Provide a rationale
to support the suggestion.
3. In this case study, leaked merger and acquisition information was
used to enable the fraud. Determine the key internal controls needed
over the communication of confidential information to outside parties,
and analyze the manner in which these controls act as a deterrent to
fraudulent activities.
4. Pretend you are Donna Murdoch in this case study and propose an
alternative plan to act on the leaked information. Next, recommend
one (1) strategy to communicate the alternative plan and determine
whom the plan should be communicated with. Justify the response.
5. In this case study, E&Y was providing a consulting service to The
Blackstone Group related to its planned acquisition of Freescale
Semiconductor. Compare and contrast the different auditor’s
professional responsibilities between consulting engagements and
audit engagements.
