Description

Regardless of size, all organizations must be aware of the risks associated with intentionally fraudulent acts. Fraud can be executed from within an organization, by external parties, or both. Therefore, a primary method to thwart fraud is understanding how and why it occurs. First, understand why internal and external intentional defalcations take place. Discuss the difficulty in understanding the motives driving those who undertake fraud. Finally, review measures organizations can implement to stop fraud and add security to the enterprise.
