What is Occupational/hub Fraud and Abuse? • Use of occupation / hub • For personal enrichment/memperkaya • Through deliberate misuse or misapplication / sengaja meneruskan • Of employer’s resources/assets
Defining Fraud / penipuan Four elements: • Material false statement • Knowledge that the statement was false • Reliance (percaya) on the statement by victim • Damages/perusakan
Defining Abuse / salah guna • A deceitful act / tindakan bohong • A corrupt practice or custom / praktek, kebiasaan korup • Examples: • “Borrow” company equipment • Use sick leave when not sick • Slow or sloppy work / pelan dan lemah kerja • Surf the Net at work / jaringan lbh batas • Work under influence of drugs/alcohol
Edwin H. Sutherland • First defined “white-collar crime” • Criminal acts of corporations • Individuals in corporate capacity • Theory of differential association • Crime is learned • Not genetic • Learned from intimate personal groups
Donald R. Cressey • Studied embezzlers • Why people become “trust violators” • Developed the Fraud Triangle
The Fraud Triangle PRESSURE RATIONALIZATION PERCEIVED OPPORTUNITY
Nonsharable Problems • Violation/pelangaran of ascribed obligations • Personal failures • Business reversals /rugi • Physical isolation • Status gaining • Employer-employee relations
Cressey’s Offender/pelanggar Types • Independent businessmen • “Borrowing” • Funds really theirs • Long-term violators • “Borrowing” • Protect family • Company cheating them • Company generally dishonest
Cressey’s Offender Types Absconders / menghindar • Take the money and run • Usually unmarried, loners • Blame “outside influences” or “personal defects”

W. Steve Albrecht Nine motivators of fraud • Wheeler-dealer • Strong challenge to beat system • Excessive gambling • Family/peer pressure
The Fraud Scale • Situational pressures • Immediate problems with environment • Usually debts/losses • Perceived opportunities • Poor controls • Personal integrity • Individual code of behavior
Richard C. Hollinger • Hollinger-Clark study (1983) • Surveyed 10,000 workers • Theft caused by job dissatisfaction • True costs vastly understated
Employee Deviance • Two categories: • Acts against property • Production violations (goldbricking) • Strong relationship: theft and concern over financial situation
Age and Theft • Direct correlation • Younger employees less committed • But, higher position = bigger theft • Opportunity is only a secondary factor
Job Satisfaction and Deviance • Dissatisfied employees • More likely to break rules • Regardless of age/position • Trying to right perceived inequities • Wages in kind
Organizational Controls • Some impact, but limited • Hollinger studied five aspects: • Company policy • Selection of personnel • Inventory control • Security • Punishment
Hollinger’s Conclusions • Employee perception of controls is important • Increased security may hurt, not help • Employee-thieves exhibit other deviance • Sloppy work, sick leave abuses, etc. • “Hydraulic effect” • Management should be sensitive to employees • Pay special attention to young employees
Hollinger’s Conclusions Four key aspects of policy development • Understand theft behavior • Spread positive info on company policies • Enforce sanctions • Publicize sanctions
The Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse • Largest fraud study ever • Study of 2,608 fraud cases • Reported by CFEs • Total: $15 billion in losses • $22 to $2.5 billion
Costs • How to measure? • Orgs don’t know what they lose • Opinions of CFEs • Six percent of gross revenues • $400 billion per year • Twice the U.S. defense budget
Median Loss by Age • Direct and linear correlation between age and median loss • Older tend to occupy higher ranking positions • Greater access to revenues, assets, resources 5
Median Loss by Scheme Type *Represents size of misstatement rather than actual cash loss
