Employee fraud has become the major source of internal misconduct. Such fraud can cause serious and lasting financial losses and reputational damage to organizations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Accounts Payable (AP) is the one business function that, in many organizations, is more vulnerable to fraud than any other. That is because all funds that flow out of the organization must first pass through AP. And over time, dishonest insiders and vendors have created newer and craftier methods of stealing from organizations by exploiting control weaknesses in the AP function. It is thus necessary to determine if proper controls are already in place to prevent such crimes from occurring. From there, internal audit plans must be adjusted to include tests and methodologies for identifying the red flags of possible AP fraud. This enables management to initiate the further examination of suspicious findings and ultimately to apprehend offenders and remediate control weaknesses.
