This eBook has been written to serve as a guideline for those unaware of employee fraud schemes and their effect on a business enterprise. It aims to enlighten entrepreneurs, especially those of small entities, with a basic knowledge and practical insight into how employee fraud schemes are organized and perpetrated in a business organization. With reference to some of the most reliable literature on the subject, this book aims to help readers understand the most common types of employee fraud.
Fraud is a growing concern for businesses today, as most of the biggest cases of corporate fraud have taken place in the last few decades. According to one estimate, 5 percent of the revenue of a typical business is lost through fraud each year. The increasing use of technology has enhanced the degree of sophistication involved in the concealment of fraud, but management can counteract any fraudulent activity with the effective use of technology in designing internal controls. The main focus of this book is on this area of study.
Most literature on employee fraud presents an extensive and detailed discussion of the issue, along with the forensic analysis. Someone unfamiliar with financial information systems and relevant concepts may find it difficult to grasp detailed knowledge of the subject. Through this book, I have collected the most relevant aspects of employee fraud, which encompass such matters as the reasons for employee fraud, misappropriation of assets, fraudulent financial reporting, corruption, and theft.
This eBook also presents a brief procedure for identifying, detecting, investigating, and preventing employee fraud that should prove to be very useful for those with a very limited knowledge of the subject. The limited scope of the book, however, prevents me from presenting an in-depth analysis of fraudulent schemes, actual fraud cases, and famous corporate scandals.
I hope my efforts will be helpful in acquainting readers with employee fraud schemes.
