The financial statements Ingram audited were included in a proxy statement proposing a merger with several other firms. The proxy statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and included several inaccuracies. First, approximately $1 million, or more than 20 percent, of the previous year’s “net sales originally reported” had proven nonexistent by the time the proxy statement was filed and had been written off on Martin’s own books. This was not disclosed in the proxy statement, in violation of Accounting Board Opinion Number 9. Second, Martin’s net sales for the current year were stated as $11.3 million when in fact they were less than $10.5 million. Third, Martin’s net profits for the current year were reported as $700,000, when the firm actually had no earnings at all. a.

The senior management denied any wrongdoing, but certain corporation employees corroborated the charges of fraud. Neither Dirks nor his firm owned or traded any Equity Funding stock, but throughout his investigation he openly discussed the information he had obtained with a number of clients and investors.
