What 5 characteristics of fraud are most common in business
Here are the five most common characteristics of fraud in business:
Misrepresentation of Financial Statements - Intentionally altering financial records to mislead stakeholders about a company's performance or financial position, often to inflate profits or hide losses.
Misappropriation of Assets - Theft or misuse of company assets, such as cash, inventory, or equipment, by employees or management for personal gain.
Corruption - Unethical practices like bribery, kickbacks, or conflicts of interest where individuals abuse their position for personal benefit, often involving third parties.
Deceptive Practices - Falsifying documents, invoices, or contracts to deceive customers, vendors, or regulators, often to secure funds or approvals under false pretences.
Lack of Internal Controls - Weak or absent oversight mechanisms, such as inadequate audits, poor segregation of duties, or lax monitoring, enabling fraudulent activities to go undetected.
These characteristics often overlap and thrive in environments with poor governance, weak accountability, or insufficient checks and balances.
