Here’s a familiar topic on the Medical Quack that’s been going on for a couple years, algorithms and audit trails to be specific. We go through all the trouble to “certify” electronic medical records to ensure their accuracy and ability to provide the correct information, but nobody does that on...

This is certainly a welcome sign here to have the reports substantiated to ensure that the grounds for any increases are indeed correct. I talk about this quite a bit and just because a great looking report with tons of statistics generated by mathematical algorithms look convincing and we assume...

This is worth mentioning as this is not by far the only case where illegal IT operations are happening. With writing code and algorithms, programmers can adjust to reflect some “desired” numbers. This is the base to where it all begins and takes place and illusions are created. We...

This makes more sense to me that what we heard originally, having written a bit of code in my past life, because as large as it was, even the Ponzi stuff needs Algorithms! I know I talk a lot about that word at this blog and my focus is to educate and help others understand what is running this...

There were quite a few healthcare organizations affected as well. This video from 60 Minutes brings us up current with what is happening today. They are going after and finding more money. Those that actually took out more money than they invested might even be liable, as the trustees...

I thought perhaps I was the only one out here speaking out on this topic, but not so. I have been referencing individuals with specific IT Technology experience and innovations for the most part, in other words get the person in the position that has actual “hands on” first hand experience and...

This reporter got to the “smart person” here for her interview who did not want to be identified for obvious reasons. Madoff was one of the first innovators of off floor stock trading and I’m sure he hired the best. Interesting though for the Ponzi end of it how they hired the most “non tech...

If a sale is not made, the state will be 10 more years wrapping up business from the bankrupt insurance carrier. With current economic trends, it sounds like it has become a nightmare in more ways than one. What was amazing was to read that there are 60 plus insolvent insurers they are managing...

As complicated as the algorithms we all deal with today, financial, healthcare, etc. this story speaks for itself to have “smart” people or “experts” at the top of the helm, who have actual hands on or first hand knowledge, especially with a self regulating business. Healthcare, is somewhat in the same...

This somewhat of a strange twist that the donors of the funds required that the money be invested with Madoff. The article from the Wall Street Journal states it was a significant loss for gastrointestinal research, but also a small portion of their overall funding. It’s been since December 11th...

Yes you read that correctly and it’s starting to show more and more. When you watch the 2nd video, the SEC folks have no real answer. It comes back around to intelligence with technology that wasn’t used, but perhaps they didn’t understand the type of documentation provided by the whistle...

The fall out continues and sadly for the non profits, a center that was helping those with cancer. Also, the Shapiro Foundation will not be creating any new grants for the year 2009. The SEC, just like the FDA needs to have the talent and technology to be able to monitor and hopefully...

Diabetes research projects may go on hold. This is sad that the Foundation is having to close and that renovation projects may be delayed or put on hold as well. In the year 2007 the foundation showed a$952 million market value. It makes one wonder if there will be more of these individuals...

I say this somewhat in jest as everyone who has a business knows the software, but in principal what’s wrong with having some enterprise auditing software in place that does just that – audits. Quick Books connects business owners easily to their auditors, so when we have such large sums of investor...
