Crooked Construction Firms

2016 - 02 - 10

This Article is about common practices in the construction business in Taiwan for the past several decades.

一案建商,就是被台灣的不動產投機份子所玩爛的花招。由於開建設公司門檻極低,許多人為了賺快錢、再逃避日後可能產生的法律責任,就在找到一塊可以炒作的好地點、找出持分比例夠的地主再用盡手腕敲定合建分屋比例,在房子蓋完賣掉錢分好之後,就不敬禮解散。下次遇到另一個可以操作的地點時,再開一家新建商,房一蓋完公司就關,如法泡製。

蓋樓需要專業?其實不然。設計規劃製圖送審和監造,是建築師的事;排進度組工班指揮大型機具與材料進場直到完工,是營造廠(大型建設公司多半有能受自己控制的甲級營造廠,但這不適用於一案建商;一案建商甚至還常借營造廠的牌,進不合格的材料用低劣的工班,反正房子只要表面上能看得過去就行)的事;把房子賣出去,是代銷團隊的事。

一案建商,員工只要三五個(多半還是股東自己人來兼),純粹負責連繫代銷、建築師、營造廠、記帳、跑銀行,即已足矣。

日後發生法律責任?反正這個案場結了建設公司就關了。

而樓蓋好交屋後,理論上起碼要用個三五十年甚至還讓子孫繼承;這種幾乎是一輩子都丟不開的「道義責任」,以一個案件為生命周期的建商,似乎認為事不關己。

Internal Controls Can't Close Loopholes?

The origin of the problem is the the blank commercial papers. Buying and selling the commercial papers is the main business of the company, which can not operate without blank commercial papers. 妥善保管空白商業本票還有主管的印鑑,建立有效的核對方式 這其實是問題發生的最源頭,公司主要的業務就是票券的買賣,沒有空白的票生意就做不成了,那空白的商業本票就是公司跟他人交易當中最常會使用到的物品了,公司本來就應該好好保管,不然就容易使不肖之徒心存僥倖。國票公司針對空白本票的存放太過隨便,使楊瑞仁想拿多少就拿多少。另外對於公司裡面空白本票的存放數量也沒有紀錄,減少的數量跟當天成立契約的數量是否相符也沒有人在關心,雙重的內控失靈使楊瑞仁放心的進行犯罪計畫。 如果能夠將每天國票公司與客戶成立的各種券買賣契約建檔管理,那麼用成立票券買賣契約的數量與空白本票使用的數量來互相對照,就可以輕鬆了解剩下多少空白本票,而在有短少的情況下就可以及時發現了。 另一個源頭就是印鑑的保管,有的公司可能未了方便而將印鑑隨手放在辦公桌上,使需要的人可以自行取用,同時卻也增加了不該用的人來使用它的風險,可行的辦法是重要印鑑由專人保管,比如說公司內部的稽核單位,每一次經過用印的文件都予以建檔管理,方便稽核人員從事稽核之工作,比如可以將公司買賣商業本票之契約與該本票放再同一個資料夾當中方便核對,有票卻沒有契約那就一定有問題。…
