3 Common Archetypes of Employees Who Commit Fraud.

This article discusses three common archetypes of employees who commit fraud: intentional perpetrators, accidental perpetrators, and righteous perpetrators. Intentional perpetrators focus on enriching themselves and thrive in environments with lax internal controls. Accidental perpetrators find themselves in dilemmas created by oversights made by others and often stay silent or follow orders. Righteous perpetrators believe their actions will benefit the organization or society, even if they involve breaking the rules. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing these archetypes and implementing measures to prevent and address fraud, such as employee training and policies that safeguard whistleblowers.
