COVID-19 imposed certain pressures on C-suite executives and has created an environment that is ripe for fraudulent activity. Pressure is one of the three legs in the fraud triangle model that can lead someone to commit fraud, along with perceived opportunity and rationalization. It’s easy to talk in general terms about pressure, opportunity and rationalization, but how does each one surface in day-to-day operations, especially during the pandemic? Todd Rahn, senior managing director and lead of accounting advisory practice on the west coast and Chris Brown, senior managing director, from FTI Consulting, continue our segment discussing related pressures, incentives and opportunities to commit financial reporting fraud that should be considered in an entity's risk assessment from a corporate perspective.
