This chapter refers to the American founders as the first in the world to create a powerful, unitary, independent chief executive officer in the context of a system where the bulk of governing authority would be held by the legislative branch. It reviews the principal device of the constitutional framers in allocating large swaths of traditionally royal power to Congress rather than the president. It also mentions the requirement for advance congressional authorization and approval for many of the most significant powers of the state, such as taxation and coercion. The chapter discusses how the presidency has seemed to metastasize as Congress has ceased effectively to function in recent decades. It points out the dangers of a unilateral executive under the unconventional presidency of Donald Trump, which seemed more severe compared to more circumspect occupants of the office.

ABSTRACT In July 2012, Peregrine Financial Group filed for bankruptcy following the discovery that $215 million in customer balances had been embezzled. Investigation revealed that its Chief Executive Officer, Russell Wasendorf, Sr., fooled auditors and regulators for 20 years by preparing fictitious bank statements and cash balance confirmations to hide the theft of cash. The fraud was uncovered when Peregrine's regulator, the National Futures Association (NFA), demanded that Peregrine participate in an electronic confirmation process for verification of customer accounts. This case discusses how the fraud was allowed to go undetected for 20 years, the importance of auditing cash, and how new electronic confirmation technology improves the ability to authenticate confirmation responses. The case is suitable for use in both auditing and accounting information system courses.
