On4 Communications Inc (ONCI)

[On2_addict]

The bottom line with ONCI is that every quarter for the past 10 quarters the Accounts Receivable increases by very close to the Gross margin. (revenue - cost of sales)

This past quarter saw Accounts Receivables (A/R) rise by $869,215, After the $635,921 cost of sales is deducted from Revenue you are left with $851,444.


So they are claiming $851,444 for Revenue for the quarter after costs, BUT are owed $869,215 more than the total at the end of the previous quarter.

This means that A/R from the previous 9 quarters has not been paid and that it rose more than the Gross margin in this Quarter. (AGAIN)


This is a VERY STRONG INDICATION OF FRAUD.

Fictitious Sales

Accounts Receivable is not actual money in the bank. An employee can fabricate invoices, which will inflate accounts receivable. But who might this benefit since an invoice isn't the same as receiving cash?

Sales people who work on a commission will benefit from an increase in accounts receivables, as it will show an increase in sales. To make this work, someone in control of accounts receivables will have to be in on the fraud.

Red flags for this type of fraud are invoices to fake customers or invoices that do not match the type of business a customer might generate. At some point, these invoices might simply disappear as part of the fraud and go undetected. Internal controls that monitor this type of activity can help with detecting fictitious sales.
