What is fraud?
Almost weekly, it seems the media is
reporting another incident of fraud. Enron, Health South Corporation
and MCI WorldCom are among the many examples of familiar businesses
that have been destroyed or polluted by fraud. Stories of business
owners and employees who compromised their fiduciary
responsibilities and positions of authority in municipal
governments, local retail establishments and professional offices
fill the newsstands around the nation. In many cases, these
businesses had codes of conduct and other checks and balances in
place to curtail abuse.
Yet, in the end they still had
fraud.
This fraud preys on the elderly and the unaware,
stealing savings, assets and identities. Recently, the process of committing
fraud has become more sophisticated with the use of the internet, telephone
and mail to further fraudulent activities.
What is Fraud Examination?
Fraud Examination is a methodology of resolving fraud allegations
from inception to disposition. It involves obtaining evidence, taking
statements, writing reports, testifying to findings, and assisting in the
detection and prevention of fraud.
