The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) has introduced the concept of a fraud tree.  The tree delineates three major categories of fraud as:

Fraudulent disbursements are the most common form of asset misappropriation. They occur when an employee uses his position of employment to cause a payment for some inappropriate purpose. The fraud tree breaks fraudulent disbursements into the following categories:

• Billing

• Payroll

• Expense reimbursement

• Check tampering

• Register reimbursements 

Each scheme has its unique characteristics depending on the industry the fraudulent act is perpetrated in. This session will delve further into each of these methods and provide possible solutions to mitigate frauds of this type.
