3 Introduction & background
4 Fraud: Defined Any illegal acts characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust. These acts are not dependent upon the application of threat of violence or of physical force. Frauds are perpetuated by individuals and organizations to obtain money, property, or services; to avoid payment or loss of services; or to secure personal or business advantage. Source: The Institute of Internal Auditors International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing -- Deception brought about by misrepresentation of material facts, or silence when good faith requires expression, resulting in material damage to one who relies on it and has the right to rely on it. I.R.S. Fraud Handbook ( 3
5 Fraud Basics: Types of fraud Misappropriation of Assets Fraud Fraudulent Financial Reporting Disclosure Corrupt Business Practices 4
6 Why does fraud occur? The Fraud Triangle helps encapsulate the events or conditions that influence the commission of a fraud. Incentives and pressures: Management or employees have an incentive or are under pressure, real or perceived, which may provide a reason to commit the fraud. Opportunity: Circumstances exist that provide an opportunity for fraud to be perpetrated. Attitudes and rationalizations: Those involved in the fraud are able to rationalize committing a fraudulent act. Where could the fraud occur? What would the fraud look like? What type of fraud is the area susceptible to? What are the effects on the books and records? When could the fraud occur? 5
7 Moral People Lie If you don t acknowledge that fraud happens, you are not going to find it.
