KU tries to audit out weasels
By Beth Behrens Kansan staff writer
It was business as usual at Weasel World, a hypothetical amusement park near Orlando, Fla., riddled with crooks and incompetent managers. Until the audit.
A takeover by Ministries Management Inc., the company responsible for the financial success of evangelist Jim Bob Divine and his television syndicate, Glory B. Network, set the stage for a competition among University of Kansas and Kansas State University auditing teams Saturday.
The twelve teams worked to turn in the best one-day audit of Weasel World. Six K-State team members went home victorious, taking with them a commemorative plaque for the university and one share each of Union Pacific stock. One of the KU teams came in second place.
Charlie Billingley, corporate controller of the Union Pacific Corp., originally designed the simulation in 1973 to give corporate audit staff members an opportunity to make mistakes.
"It was created out of desperation, not creativity," Billingsley said. "It allowed them to make mistakes in a non-risk situation. If they made a mistake, we'd just point and giggle."
He said this campus simulation was the 15th Union Pacific had staged. The last KU simulation was in 1838. Billingham said the corporatization at each of its core recruiting schools every three or four years.
The day started for all of the teams at 8:30 a.m. when the petty cash was counted. Billingsley dropped his role as A. Quire Stuff, manager of purchasing for Weasel World, to become one of the petty cash custodians.
Billinglsay said that during the count, he left the room to get doughnuts and coffee for the KU team members who came to count the cash. He said it was an old trick used by many custodians to get themselves out of trouble. If a discrepancy would have been found, Billinglsay would have claimed the auditors stole the money it was there when he left the room.
Dan O'Keefe, Wichita senior, was
one of the auditors counting Billingsley's cash.
"It it was the first thing in the morning," O'Keefe said. "He really pulled a smooth move on us."
Carol Haas, manager of audit personnel at Union Pacific, said the game was based on a 300-point scale. Teams started out with about 50 documents, which was enough to start the audit. Points were awarded when students acquired documents and confessions of wrongdoing and recorded problems they found in the auditing process.
O but K'eele didn't let that mistake keep him back. He and Russ Jones, Arkansas City senior, were the first to extract a confession from M. Prest Fund, Weasel World Cashier. They found that Fund had written a check to the petty cash fund for $500 in January, but the check still had not been cashed Aug. 11, the hypothetical date of the audit.
Bruce Gerhard, auditor for Union Pacific and facilitator for one of the groups, said the simulation was representative of the process used in a real audit.
