Explanation of Solution

Fraud is an intentional act done to deceive a person. It is an intentional and misleading representation about a material fact, which when believed and acted upon by the victim, damages the victim.

Fraud prevention is important for every organization because:

  1. It is the most cost-effective way to reduce losses/damages caused due to fraud.

  2. Fraud damages the reputation of the company; a fraud-free company is most trusted and valued.

  3. Fraud prevention helps in creating a good organizational culture.

  4. Fraud prevention allows fraud risk assessment and helps in mitigation of risk
