Exam Questions with Correct Answers
What is the most important element of the Fraud Triangle? - Answer-- Opportunity
Three parts of the Fraud Triangle? - Answer-1. Opportunity
2. Financial Pressure
3. Rationalization
Opportunity - Answer-- for an employee to commit fraud, the working environment must
provide opportunities that an employee can take advantage of.

do so because they believe they will not get caught
- An employee has check-writing and -signing responsibilities for a small company, as
well as reconciling the bank account.
Financial Pressure - Answer-- Employees sometimes commit fraud because of personal
financial problems caused by too much debt
Ex: An employee's monthly credit card payments are nearly 75% of his or her monthly
earnings.
- An employee has an expensive gambling habit.
Rationalization - Answer-- Employees sometimes justify fraud because they believe
they are underpaid while the employer is making lots of money. Employees feel justified
in stealing because they believe they deserve to be paid more.
Ex: An employee earns minimum wage at a firm that has reported RECORD earnings
for each of the last five years.

responsibility
• *Segregation of Duties*
• Documentation procedures
• Physical controls
• Independent internal verification

Segregation of Duties - Answer-- Is indispensable in an internal control system.
- Making one individual responsible for related activities increases the potential for
errors and irregularities.

Different individuals should be responsible for related activities.

physical custody of that asset.
What is the Rationale of *Segregation of Duties*? - Answer-- The work of one employee
should, without a duplication of effort, provide a reliable basis for evaluating the work of
another employee. For example, the personnel that design and program computerized
systems should not be assigned duties related to day-to-day use of the system.

fraud through day-to-day use.
