28、audproofing. This word can be translated by impermeability to fraud. Unfortunately, although any entity wishes to be impervious to fraud, we must recognize that it is impossible because no internal control system cannot

29、full eliminate risk of fraud. What is possible and desirable is that the so-called fraudproofing to represent a way to reduce the risk of fraud to a minimum.</p><p>　　Understanding the many factors that can

30、contribute to the risk of fraud is first step in defining a strategy to prevent fraud. After it is necessary to be implemented policies to reduce threats. Between these policies, the most important and in the same time t

31、he most common is the existence of a good internal control system.</p><p>　　A variety of controls exist in the classical systems of internal control. The most relevant basic controls are grouped into three c

32、ategories7: physical access control, job descriptions, and accounting reconciliations and analyses.</p><p>　　The best known forms of this control may already seem trivial, but they contribute more than other

33、s to protect against fraud. We can list here: locking doors and spaces where are preserved documents, computerized security systems (access card that record time of entry and exit), electronic surveillance systems, more

34、or less sophisticated, taking into account investment which the company can afford (voice recognition systems and even iris scanning).</p><p>　　In principle, the access in the firm should be allowed only to

35、those who must work within it, especially employees.</p><p>　　Certainly this physical access restriction will not ensure a total removal of the risk of fraud, but will decrease this risk considerably.</p&

36、gt;<p>　　First, most frauds involve the physical presence of the perpetrator where it occurs, whether it?s about assets misappropriated or it?s about incorrect book keeping.</p><p>　　Secondly, physica

37、l access control is the most visible form of control for those who intend to commit fraud by sending them a signal of the very probable existence of other forms of control, which is likely to discourage them.</p>

38、<p>　　Thirdly, even if this form of control does not prevent fraud, it will help more accurate understanding of what happened and to discover the perpetrator by restricting number of suspects.</p><p>　　

39、Formal, job description clearly outlines what duties should perform an employee, being an important tool to prevent fraud. Most often, employees do not perform duties outside of their job description. Those who do is to

40、be category carefully monitored.</p><p>　　In fact, the job description is a tool for separation of tasks. A classical example of separation of duties refers to an employee who is resposanble for an object an

41、d to whom is forbidden to handle registration in accounts of operations on that object.</p><p>　　Here we must include mention of the job description that the employee must receive annual vacantion.</p>

42、<p>　　To increase efficiency through job description control is important, for any company, that job descriptions to be developed in an integrated manner, in that the development should be take account of the acti

43、vities of persons other than covered.</p><p>　　While the role of job descriptions has been stated by many experts, in many companies they are ignored or underestimated considering that they are among the lea

44、st used documents. There are situations where job descriptions are developed, but they are ignored by employers. In fact, when employees start to do things that are not appropriate is the moment as business leaders to be

45、come worried. In addition, the same employees, unless they are rewarded for what they do, it is possible that they might</p><p>　　For this reason it is good like job descriptions to be developed when is nece

46、sary, and employees to agree with them and to comply their contents.</p><p>　　Although it seems to be unrelated to fraud, we must show that a fraud will be easily discovered when she cease to produce for som

47、e time.</p><p>　　The third category of controls has as starting point the idea that a fraud reaches its purpose if not detected, ie if the result of fraudulent action is well concealed. Fortunately, controls

48、 and accounting analysis make difficult or even impossible to conceal fraud.</p><p>　　In the category of accounting controls are included the checks and bank statements received/transmitted from/to business

49、partners and crosschecking between analytical and the synthetic accounting. Regarding the exact nature of accounting analysis, they depend on the nature of operations company. There may be an analysis of the temporal var

51、 always made to detect fraud, but for making managerial decisions or to verify the accuracy of accounting records.</p><p>　　But, whatever the reason of the performing this controls, is established that they

52、can reveal the existence of possible fraud.</p><p>　　Once established a good system of internal control, for the same purpose - fraud prevention and detecting, we identified the supervision how acts like a s

54、or approval, re-checking and recovery; Awareness of possibility of fraud is perhaps the starting point in developing a fraud</p><p>　　prevention strategy. Supervisors should be aware that an unusual event is

55、 always a risk bearer as an error occurs. It?s about complaints come from customers or suppliers, discrepancies which are not found an explanation and errors reported by the audit. In these circumstances, if supervisors

56、are not aware of the possibility of an error occurs, the risk that it occurs is very high.</p><p>　　Beyond the possibility of fraud awareness, supervisors must do really supervise. In the category of supervi

57、sory actions are included: verifying the existence and enforcement of clear procedures for approving operations, re-checking the work of some employees and restoration activities. In addition, the reaction of a company i

58、n front of a fraud should reduce the potential for their in the future. Thus, the company must initiate a procedure to investigate such incidents, take appropriate action ag</p><p>　　2. AUDIT AND FRAUD</p

59、><p>　　The last level of internal control system, in terms of preventing fraud is the audit, both internally and externally. Internal auditors perform activities which are determined by the highest levels of co

60、mpany management. Among the specific tasks they may be listed: detect fraud and develop mechanisms to prevent fraud. In this regard, it should be noted that all organizations of internal auditors have issued rules for fr

61、aud. Unlike internal auditors, external auditors are independent, ie he is no</p><p>　　Moreover, the market becomes increasingly more critical in terms of reliability audit opinions issued by the audit firms

62、. Thus, analyzing more cases of bankruptcies of firms in the UK and USA, we found that audit is not a sign far safer than a financial analysis to determine the health of a business: most of the companies whose certified

63、financial statements were qualified survived and most businesses have gone bankrupt even if financial statements were certified non-qualified.</p><p>　　Therefore, the appearance of audit committee doesn?t of

64、fer the guarantee that frauds will disappear. However, these committees must assess if the company?s managers have identified the risks of fraud, how the measures to fight against the frauds were implemented and to appre

65、ciate the message sent by the managers to employees. Features in detecting and preventing fraud can be identified in small firms because for these firms doesn?t exist a legal requirement to have certified financial state

66、ments</p><p>　　In terms of their frequency, it was found that fraud involving the company treasury occur most often, so is absolutely necessary to focus on the operations with cash and on the operations with

67、 banks. The control of assets supposes the verification of cash transactions because both can lead toward misuse of assets or use them to achieve fraud. In addition, assets can be destroyed or stolen by employees. The co

68、unseling the firms that hire employees is necessary all the time because it was found th</p><p>　　employees of small firms is an element that contributes to the proper functioning of the company, but also a

69、factor which may contribute to the production of fraud, particularly by weakening control and by associating with each other to commission of illegal acts. Based on these findings, small business owners are advised to ta

70、ke the following measures which are designed to prevent and detect fraud:</p><p>　　hiring an accountant or an auditor to verify the accounting firm;</p><p>　　restricting access to bank accounts

71、and conduct regular crosschecking with bank; taking appropriate measures to protect assets;</p><p>　　improving procedures for selection and recruitment;</p><p>　　establish procedures for reporti

73、 levels, fraud whose production could not be prevent by internal and external auditors or by the existence of the committees audit, appeared the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners whose role is to reduce the number
