Which of the following is NOT a perceived pressure that can lead to employee fraud? a. frustration with a co-worker b. experi
encing high medical bills because of illness in family c. anticipated actual financial reports that are below published expectations d. a challenge to beat the system
The correct answer is letter "C": anticipated actual financial reports that are below published expectations.
Explanation:
Fraud is an activity that harms institutions' finance and corporate culture. Employees committing fraud are typically high-rank managers or employees with great access to the firm's sensitive information based on trust and skills, but struggling with economic hardship or excessive ambition makes them fall into fraudulent activities. Those unethical events benefit them using the resources of the company for their own interest.
Then,<em> if the anticipated financial reports are negative, those employees might be worried by the institution's performance but it does not represent a direct problem affecting their lives in a proportion big enough to make them commit fraud.</em>
