		Malfeasance is distinguished from "misfeasance," which is committing a wrong or error by mistake, negligence or inadvertence, but not by intentional wrongdoing.
		Example: a city manager putting his indigent cousin on the city payroll at a wage the manager knows is above that allowed and/or letting him file false time cards is malfeasance; putting his able cousin on the payroll which, unknown to him, is a violation of an anti-nepotism statute is misfeasance.
		This distinction can apply to corporate officers, public officials, trustees and others cloaked with responsibility.

		Over the last two weeks of the aftermath of the Hurricane catastrophe, this newspaper has assessed the performance of individual government officials, both Republican and Democratic at federal, state and local levels, and assigned specific responsibility for government malfeasance of duty.

		It is worth noting, as Michael Novak has shrewdly observed, that a majority of the 80 percent of the citizens of New Orleans who took personal responsibility for getting themselves out of New Orleans before the certain danger were African American.

	Liability of Officers and Directors in Pennsylvania Corporations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		One of the main reasons why individuals and unincorporated associations do incorporate is to gain some measure of insulation from the claims of third persons, whether under contract law or under a tort theory such as for negligence or fraud.
		However, those who wield executive power in a corporation would do well to remember that despite the limited liability protections of incorporation, officers and directors can nevertheless expose themselves to personal liability if they commit malfeasance or fraud in acting of behalf of the corporation.
		We will represent persons injured by the fraudulent conduct of corporate agents, and we will represent officers and directors accused of wrongdoing if they are uninsured.

	Summary
		GAO examined (1) State's internal controls to prevent nonimmigrant visa malfeasance and if they are being implemented and (2) visa malfeasance cases from 2001-2004 and factors cited by State and the Department of Justice (Justice) that contributed to visa malfeasance and affected investigations and prosecutions.
		State has a set of internal controls to prevent visa malfeasance and has taken actions to improve them; however, these internal controls are not being fully and consistently implemented by the posts we visited.
		In fact, their case records did not permit investigators to identify malfeasance trends or consular managers to identify internal control weaknesses needing attention.

		The grand jury will by that time have exhausted all investigative leads and have found all appropriate indictments.
