Fraud is an intentionally deceptive act to obtain unlawful gain or deny a victim's rights. Common types of fraud include tax, credit card, wire, securities, and bankruptcy fraud. Fraud can be committed by individuals or businesses and takes many forms like mail, identity theft, healthcare, bank, tax refund, internet, and elder fraud. The fraud triangle concept proposes that three elements - pressure, opportunity, and rationalization - are typically present for occupational fraud. Strong internal controls like a code of conduct, internal audits, and management reviews can help prevent fraud.

7. Anti fraud controls
The ACFE’s 2020 Report to the Nations not only identifies the top
anti-fraud controls that can help protect organizations, but also
illustrates what can happen when controls are weak or altogether
missing.
Below are the top four internal controls that reduce fraud losses and
can improve detection:
1. A robust code of conduct
2. A strong internal audit department
3. Management certifications of financial statements
4. Management reviews of internal controls, processes, accounts or
transactions
