Fraud

The Institution of Internal Auditors' (IIA) IPPF defines fraud as:

          "Any illegal act characterized by deceit, concealment or violation of trust. These acts are not dependent upon the threat of violence or physical force. Frauds are perpetrated by parties and organizations to obtain money, property, or services; to avoid payment or loss of services; or to secure personal or business advantage."
