    Occupational Fraud impacts a company’s bottom line, reputation, employee productivity, and possibility of business continuity or security within a given industry. Another impact of occupational fraud is a company’s increased desire to prevent or deter fraud; which can also be cumbersome. Fraud is a crime of opportunity, fueled by greed and rationalization (Latshaw, Craig A, 2003). The penalties for fraud are usually not a deterrent from the crime, as most of those committing the crimes do not believe they will get caught. The solution to occupational fraud starts with making sure that there are internal controls in place that make it more difficult for fraud to occur. Periodic audits may be a deterrent, but the main deterrent is to set reasonable standards, work policies, and pay the may eliminate the rationalization of defrauding an…

    Fraud has evidently become one of the most problematic issues faced by companies throughout the world. However, the pervasiveness and seriousness of fraud could not be surmounted with the extant methods used to combat fraud. Recent evidences specify that forensic accounting services (FAS) are the least often used of any anti-fraud methods but had the highest effectiveness rating. The underutilization of this essential service provided the imperative for this study. The multi-phased mixed-method research design utilized a theoretically grounded, parsimonious, yet comprehensive conceptual framework. Quantitative data analysis using Partial Least Square from Structural Equation Modeling confirmed the significant positive influence of attitude, stakeholder pressure, and perceived susceptibility to fraud on the organizational intention to use FAS for fraud detection and prevention.

Practically, the research results would facilitate professional bodies, accounting firms, government, and organizational stakeholders to devise practical methods and promotional strategies to increase the awareness,…
