1.1 Detection Techniques to Detect Fraud in an Organisation
Auditors employ various techniques to detect fraud within an organization.
Here are some key methods:
1. Data Analysis: Auditors use data analysis tools and techniques to
scrutinize large volumes of financial and operational data. This helps
in identifying anomalies, trends, or patterns that might indicate
fraudulent activities.
2. Internal Controls Review: Evaluating the effectiveness of internal
controls is crucial. Weak or overridden controls often provide
opportunities for fraud. Auditors assess whether controls are properly
designed and implemented.
3. Document Examination: Scrutinizing documents for inconsistencies,
alterations, or forgeries can reveal fraudulent transactions. This
includes examining invoices, contracts, and other financial records.
