To fight fraud we must understand how it occurs.  The fraud triangle developed by Donald Cressey, outlines three main factors that influence perpetrators to commit fraud.

Opportunity – a means to make something possible to do,  it is often the most difficult to spot but easiest to control, through adjusting organizational processes and implementing or tightening controls.   

Pressure – often times individuals face hardships, and other influences that drive them to needing or wanting more resources or money to acquire those resources. 

Rationalization – involves justifying the fraudulent act or realizing that the gains far outweighs the consequences of detection.  It could be as simple as concluding that one does not have enough to provide for one’s family, or extreme as I deserve more.

Whatever the reason for fraudulent acts, organizations can take an offensive approach to reduce fraud risks and minimize losses.  The organization  stands to lose in many ways, from the fraud itself, having to hire an expert to investigate, having to minimize or eliminate the opportunity that allowed the fraud to take place, and from having to go through the process of filling the position of the perpetrator.
