Fraudster Psychology 16

As we end this thread, let's review the three "sides" of the Fraud Triangle:

1.Opportunity
2. Pressure
3.  Rationalization

    This method of explaining fraud has been in use for many years and although the science of fraud examination and fraud psychology is relatively new, it has stood the test of time.

     Fraudsters are utilizing the fraud triangle every day, whether they realize it or not.

    "Active" fraudsters will look for an opportunity while "passive" fraudsters will wait until an opportunity happens to them.  "Pressure" can mean many things to different people; remember, however, that fraudsters generally are not stealing because they need basic sustenance.  "Rationalization" means that a fraudster will find some way to justify his actions.
