Fraud continues to plague businesses at epidemic levels and internal control omissions and failures are a large reason because of which fraud occurs.
SAS No. 122, AU 240, Consideration of Fraud In A Financial Statement Audit states that auditors fail to detect fraud for two basic reasons:

This presentation discusses the many indicators of fraud that the auditor should always be cognizant of and the audit procedures specifically designed to detect fraud.
