The head of CompTac’s accounting department, Roy Olson, has to pay his daughter’s college tuition within a week or his daughter will not be able to continue taking classes. The payment due is more than $20,000. Roy would be able to make the payment in two months but cannot do so until then. The college refuses to wait that long. In desperation, Roy—through a fictitious bank account and some clever accounting—“borrows” funds from CompTac. Before Roy can pay back the borrowed funds, an auditor discovers what Roy did. CompTac’s president alleges that Roy has “stolen” company funds and informs the police of the theft. Has Roy committed a crime? If so, what crime did he commit? Explain.
