Detection of fraud usually begins by identifying
symptoms, indicators, or red flags that tend to be
associated with fraud. There are three primary ways to
detect fraud:
 By chance.
 By providing ways for people to report suspicions of
fraud, like installing reporting hotlines (Whistle-
blowing systems), and
 By examining transaction records and documents to
determine if there are anomalies that could represent
fraud.

At a minimum, investigations of fraud must proceed as follow:
1. They must be undertaken only to ‘establish the truth of a
matter question’.
2. Investigator must experienced and objective.
3. Investigators must ensure that only those who have a
need to know (e.g., management) are kept apprised of
investigation activities.
4. Good investigators must ensure that all information
collected during an inquiry is independently corroborated
and determined to be factually correct.
5. Experienced investigators make sure that any
investigation technique used is scientifically and legally
sound and fair.
6. Investigators must report all facts fairly and objectively. 14
