CLASSIC APPROACHES
• Directive approach.
– The directive approach is confrontational and authoritative.
– It says: ‘‘Don’t steal. If you do, and we catch you, you’ll be
fired.’’
• Preventive approach
– potential fraudsters are screened out using various
means:
1. background checks for criminal records and credit
reports
2. Internal controls (segregation of duties)
CLASSIC APPROACHES
• Detective approach.
– sets up accounting controls and an internal audit
function to monitor potential frauds.
• Observation approach.
– physical observation of assets and employees
• Investigative approach.
– Based on investigative results (follow up on allegations of
theft)
• Insurance approach
– adequate insurance coverage to cover losses that might
occur due to a fraud

organization
