Are You Keeping Up With the Fraudsters Online?

Fraud examiners do not need to become tech experts to be successful in their careers, but they do need a basic understanding of advances in the industry and a strategy to stay up-to-date on the relevant trends. Sure, technology can be scary … but it doesn't have to be.

The Executive Fraud Triangle The great "I"

Do you know an Executive Fraudster?

In this evolved Fraud Triangle, the possibly fraudulent executive stands alone at the center as the great "I" and is surrounded by three points: greed, pride and entitlement.

• Greed: Executives want money, position, title, authority, perks, services, etc.
• Pride: Executives think they're better, smarter, more skilled or superior.
• Entitled: Executives feel as though they deserve money, position, title, authority, perks, services, etc.

Why politicians don’t want us to think, but opinions are okay

It’s time to gear up for the next election cycle, with the upcoming Australian federal budget the whistle for kick-off. So what can we expect from our politicians this time around?

One thing has become a given in Australian politics: we will not be asked to think. That doesn’t mean we won’t, of course. But don’t wait for the invitation to arrive in the mail.

The last thing politicians want is for us to analyse, synthesise, infer and evaluate. We might end up insisting they do the same, or that they outline their thinking for us to evaluate.
