Automatic Data Payment has parted ways with Campbell B. Langdon, who had served as president of the major account services division for employer services, after his duties were handed off to another executive. The company did not announce the departure, which was effective June 30, but included the separation agreement with the 10-year veteran of the payroll processing organization when it filed with the SEC its annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30.

The SEC has charged Dell's former chief accounting officer, Robert W. Davis, and former assistant controller, Randall D. Imhoff, for their alleged roles in accounting fraud at the computer hardware giant. Both men agreed to pay penalties that involved Dell's alleged fraud in misstating operating results for its fiscal years 2002 through 2005. This action follows a separate settlement of SEC and accounting rule violatons earlier this year in which Dell paid $100 million civil penalty and founder and CEO Michael Dell paid $4 million.
