Fraud is an insidious crime. Commonly defined, fraud is an act in which attempts are made to deceive with promises of goods, services, or financial benefits that do not exist, were never intended to be provided, or were misrepresented. Each year, tens of millions of people fall prey to fraudulent schemes and practices. While conventional internal controls are rarely effective in preventing fraud, some less conventional controls have proven effective. One size, however, does not fit all. There are several different types of “typical” fraud perpetrators who commit fraud for different reasons, perform their fraudulent acts in different manners, and have different views on how their acts can be rationalized.
This continuing education Auditing Course will profile 4 types of typical fraud perpetrators, and how the three characteristics of the fraud triangle, reason, opportunity, and rationalization, apply to each. We will then use this information to develop a fraud prevention strategy for each. The strategies will be used to develop specific controls and to describe the characteristics of controls more likely to be effective than others.
This online CPE webinar on Fraud covered the following major topics:
