Paper by SBU trio used in probe into federal revenue fraud

May 01, 2025

Darwin L. King, professor of Accounting, Dr. Carl J. Case, professor of Management, and Michael L. McLanahan, lecturer in Accounting, received a request from a senior analyst for the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) for a copy of a paper published by the trio last year. 

The paper, “A History of the Dirty Dozen: How Dirty Do They Get?,” traces the history of scams perpetrated against taxpayers. The GOA will use the paper in its 18-month, large-scale review of federal revenue fraud, King said, noting the authors will receive a copy of the fraud report upon its completion.
