According to most
authorities, fraud in business and government is at an all-time high.
Fraud costs significantly more than most people realize and its one of the fastest
growing crimes in the world. In the US, more people and/or businesses are hit by fraud than 'normal street crimes' Theft & fraud represents a serious threat to the integrity, financial
stability and life of every business. Fraud, embezzlement,
misappropriation, theft, all victimize individuals and
companies alike.
The responsibilities of the auditor and accountant to detect and deter
fraud and white-collar crime are increasing, and yet they appear to catch few
frauds before devastating losses occur. In the view of Joseph T. Wells,
this is because accountants and auditors wrongfully assume fraud can be
detected and prevented through traditional audit techniques. Fraud examination may be defined as
the using the skills necessary to resolve allegations of fraud from inception to
disposition; to obtain evidence, take statements and write reports; to
testify to findings; and to assist in the detection and prevention of
fraud. Fraud examination consists of specialized knowledge from four
fields: accounting and auditing, investigation, law, and criminology.

sufficient for legal action and recovery.
