Fraud experts have long suggested that the presence of three
conditions (pressure, rationalization and opportunity) greatly increases the
likelihood that an employee will commit fraud. This is known as the “fraud
triangle.” Over the years, the original triangle framework has been expanded to
add capability (generally fraud-prone personality characteristics) to define a
“fraud diamond.” Other models have modified the triangle and diamond, but they
all serve the same purpose: to help business owners identify risk and eliminate
opportunities to commit fraud. Contact us for help protecting your
