Part I: INTRODUCTION TO FRAUD.
1. The Nature of Fraud.
2. Who ...
1. Fraud always involves deception, confidence, and trickery. The following is one of
the most common definitions of fraud:
a. “Fraud is a generic term, and embraces all the multifarious means which
human ingenuity can devise, which are resorted to by one individual, to get an
advantage over another by false representations. No definite and invariable
rule can be laid down as a general proposition in defining fraud, as it
includes surprise, trickery, cunning and unfair ways by which another is
cheated. The only boundaries defining it are those which limit human
knavery.”
Fraud is deception that includes the following elements:
1. A representation
2. About a material point
3. That is false,
4. Intentionally or recklessly so,
5. Which is believed
6. And acted upon by the victim
7. To the victim’s damage.
2. Fraud affects individuals, consumers, and organizations in various ways. Fraud
usually lowers organizations’ net income dollar for dollar. To recover these costs,
consumers and individuals must pay more for goods and services. For example,
health care fraud and insurance fraud increase premiums that individuals must pay.
The cost of fraud eventually reaches every part of the economy, including individuals,
consumers, and organizations.
The 2008 study by The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that U.S.
organizations lose roughly 7 percent of their annual revenues to fraud. Applied to the
U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), this 7 percent figure translates to approximately
$994 billion in fraud losses.
3.
a. Employee Embezzlement: In this type of fraud, employees deceive their
employers by taking company assets. Embezzlement can be either direct or
indirect.
