Wells Fargo faced a major scandal in 2016 when it was revealed that employees had opened millions of fake bank accounts without customers' consent. The bank was fined $185 million and an investigation found pressure from sales goals had led to the fraudulent accounts. Over time, the scandal grew as more details emerged, criminal investigations were launched, and the CEO was fired. The bank worked to restore trust by ending sales goals, improving oversight, and focusing on customer service.
Wells Fargo Fake Accounts Scandal – Who Should We Blame?Zoran Temelkov
The Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal is one of the most popular topics in in the past couple of weeks. There are many issues and concerns that have come to the surface as result of the scandal. Everyone is blaming the internal culture, internal control, auditors, executives, etc. But are they the only one to be blamed. What about the customers, should we also put the blame on them?
Wells Fargo is one of the largest banking and financial service providers in the US. However, the company has recently been accused of staggering fake accounts scam, which has put the company in deep trouble. Find the details about the scandal and the SWOT analysis of the company in this presentation.
In this Closer Look, we examine the tensions between corporate culture, financial incentives, and employee conduct as illustrated by the Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal. In 2016, Wells Fargo admitted that employees had opened as many as 2 million accounts without customer authorization over a five-year period. We discuss the factors that contributed to the scandal, the repercussions for the bank, and its response.
We ask:
• How did the company’s incentive system contribute to the scandal?
• Would the system have worked better if coupled with additional metrics or controls?
• What systems should have been put in place to identify and escalate potential problems earlier?
• What steps should senior management have taken to better contain the fallout?
• Is an inside or outside CEO successor better positioned to help the bank recover?
• How do you maximize the positive contribution that incentives make to culture while minimizing potentially negative outcomes?
“Greed” typically is at the forefront.
It is unfortunate that Frauduent activities often start at the top of an organization with its culture.
It really is tragic how some companies conduct their activities to deceive people and regulators in such fraudulent methods. And, these are all examples of the lack of effective internal control activities and processes in these organizations. Interestingly, history seems to repeat itself as the same thing occurred here that previously stunned the business world internationally thus enhancing SOX with the activities at Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, Global Crossing, Arthur Andersen, etc.

The Intermediary which I chose was Charles Schwarb. Because the company is famous for its electronic trading platform, investor education, and discount brokerage services, especially discount and free trading commission fees. The Credit Suisse Financial Group is a financial services company established by an American multinational company, San Francisco Jiaxin is the 14th largest financial institution in the United States with more than the US $ 3.3 trillion in client assets (as of 2019). It is the third-largest asset management company in the United States, after BlackRock and Pioneer.
I learned from this company how to ride through the ups and downs of the market. The founder of this company is an 82-year-old broker billionaire who feels he can seize the opportunity, even the imperfect opportunity. Patience is not a virtue. When opportunities arise, seize them. In 1975, when Schwab planned to open the company's first branch, his uncle provided a sum of money on hand. The only gain? The location must be in Sacramento near his uncle's house. Schwab said: "I think of the city of Sacramento much earlier." But why should I consider it? Schwab reached a deal, and the success of the proving ground convinced him to open more offices. Branches became the main growth engine for the business and kept the company ahead of Internet-only competitors after many years. "Sometimes the trick is to make the most of the necessity, and when they hit you in the face, don't miss the opportunity," Schwab advised.
I also learned to know your limits. You do n’t have to be Superman to succeed. Schwab suffered from dyslexia, a learning disability, which inhibited his reading ability, but he did not know this until he became an adult. When he struggled at school, he attributed it to inferior intelligence. Schwab said: "I think I'm just stupid, I believe for nearly 40 years."
It is left to entrepreneurs to turn weaknesses into advantages. Schwab learned to delegate tasks and give people around him autonomy.
Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Schwab, said: "Until the new COVID-19 case begins to slow, stocks cannot continue to rebound. Jeffrey said that in terms of the global recession, this May be short-lived. During market volatility, I hope that all investors can consider resisting the urge to sell based only on recent market trends, reassess your risk tolerance and risk tolerance, and ensure that your investment portfolio is properly dispersed, as needed Measures such as rebalancing your portfolio.

2. WELLS FARGO
World's second largest bank by
market capitalization and the third
largest bank in the U.S. by assets.
In September 2016, the culture and
large success that Wells Fargo
thought they had strongly created,
came to a crashing halt!
Introduction
3. On September 8, 2016, Wells Fargo
announced that it was paying $185
million in fines to Los Angeles city
and federal regulators to settle
allegations that its employees
created millions of fake bank
accounts for customers.
The bank wanted the issue behind
them. But instead, the settlement
sparked a firestorm.
Background
4. The cause
The fraud appears to have stemmed from CEO John Stumpf’s mantra to
employees: “eight is great.” Meaning: get eight Wells Fargo products into the
hands of each customer. But this directive proved burdensome for bank
employees as they struggled to meet demanding quotas and satisfy even more
demanding managers.
5. How the reveal went down
On October 3, 2013, E. Scott Reckard wrote an article in The Los Angeles Times
about Wells Fargo firing 30 branch employees, “Who the bank said had opened
accounts that were never used and attempted to manipulate customer-
satisfaction surveys”
6. How the reveal went down
On December 21, 2013, another article written by E. Scott Reckard again broke in
the Los Angeles Times. The new article presented personal stories from
employees and manager about how the Wells Fargo company visions and values
had been manipulated into creating a concerning level of pressure for
employees. “To meet quotas…[we] have opened unneeded accounts for
customers, ordered credit cards without customers’ permission and forged client
signature on paperwork. Some employees begged family members to open
ghost accounts.”
8. Timeline

customers' knowledge or permission.

Committee.
October 05, 2016 Fourteen senators sent a letter to AG Loretta Lynch urging the Justice
Department to "thoroughly investigate the culpability of senior executives"
at Wells Fargo
October 12, 2016 Shortly after markets closed, word came that Stumpf was out. The bank
said he would retire as CEO and Chairman effective immediately.
May 2011 - July 2015 | Sept. 08, 2016 | Sept. 13, 2016 | Sept. 14, 2016 | Sept. 16, 2016

Oct. 19, 2016 | Oct. 24, 2016 | Oct. 03, 2016
13. The Lessons of an Ethics Failure
Every manager should study the Wells Fargo case for the valuable lessons to be learned.
Some of the simplest and most effective are:
★ If employees raise their hands to speak up, they must be taken seriously.
★ Letting any problem, no matter how insignificant or non-material, fester over many years is a
recipe for disaster and may well also draw increased regulatory scrutiny.
★ Design incentives with care; the company will get the behavior it incentivizes.
★ Risk management is an ongoing, not an annual or one-time, process.
★ It is not simply tone at the top but also tone in the middle and at the bottom that drive culture.

15. Tim Sloan the new CEO
Some excerpts from the new CEO's prepared remarks in a company wide address from Charlotte on Oct. 25, 2016.
Sloan: ‘My primary objective is to restore trust’
“Our senior leadership is committed — and I am personally committed — to taking the decisive
actions and to learning the necessary lessons to ensure our company and our customers are never
susceptible to the kinds of behaviors and failures that got us to where we are today.”
Things went wrong. Problems need to be fixed. Customers and team members were harmed and
need to be cared for. And a better and stronger Wells Fargo must emerge out of all of this.
16. Tim Sloan the new CEO
Some excerpts from the new CEO's prepared remarks in a company wide address from Charlotte on Oct. 25, 2016.
We need to recognize the following:
● There are things that need to be fixed within our culture. There are weaknesses within it that we
must change.
● There are ways in which we behaved and did business that did not serve our customers, or our
team members, or our investors or the many institutions and communities that rely on us to get
things right.
17. Tim Sloan the new CEO
Some excerpts from the new CEO's prepared remarks in a company wide address from Charlotte on Oct. 25, 2016.
Here are two ways you can help immediately — because I know many of you are eager and ready to
help.
● First, take care of our customers. Understand their needs. Address their concerns and provide
great service and advice. Done ethically and with their interests at heart, it’s the most important
work we can do to restore trust in our company.
● Second, get engaged in understanding our reality and how we’re moving forward.
18. Tim Sloan the new CEO
Some excerpts from the new CEO's prepared remarks in a company wide address from Charlotte on Oct. 25, 2016.
We have also changed the retail bank’s risk management processes. This is consistent with the reorganization of
enterprise functions we have conducted across the company to create a stronger risk and control foundation that
allows senior team members across the bank to provide more independent, credible challenges to how we operate.
We’ve recommitted ourselves to our customers’ overall experience, eliminating product sales goals for all retail
banking team members.
Next year, we’ll introduce a new performance plan for retail bankers that will be based on customer service, growth,
and risk management. Our goal: “We want nothing to get in the way of doing what is right for customers”.
19. The Conclusion
Externally, the best thing Wells Fargo can do is to get in front of the issue with the public and their
customers. They need everyone to feel as though they are taking this with all due seriousness and
believe that their customers truly are the heart of their business. They need to do this by reaching out
to their customers and making them feel comfortable to ask any questions they might have.
It has been approximately five months since the Wells Fargo scandal details were fully revealed and
in our opinion, we think they are dealing with the aftermath considerably well.
