This document is a summary of our research thesis. This work, based on a qualitative study, focuses on clarifying the position of the external auditor when facing fraud and his role in preventing and detecting it. Fraud is a reality that many companies often face and struggle with managing its circumstances. Although fraud can be committed for or against the company, we are more interested in cases of fraud committed in companies by internal persons. At this point, several questions are raised: How important is the risk of fraud to the external auditor? Is fraud detection and prevention part of the auditor's responsibility? What type of fraud could engage the responsibility of the auditor? How should the auditor react to the fraud detected? These are the questions we attempted to answer through this work. We also had recourse to interviews with auditors to discuss this issue.

Numerous scandals happened in the corporate world. Some of them are now considered as textbook cases. They are used to teach students what already happened, how to deal with that, how to avoid that, and how to prevent those cases from happening. Even though those cases brought a lot to professionals on how to avoid those situations, it is still happening nowadays. There are a lot of different frauds happening in businesses. Frauds can occur in every company in different forms. Some are related to the business’ activities, and some can happen in every company. In order to fight against those frauds, companies must know about it and prevent it. This thesis gives explanations on how companies can prevent fraud from happening, and especially banks. In fact, this sector is much regulated and must respect many laws regarding risks management and internal organization. This is the reason why banks are at the heart of this research. In this regard, internal audit and internal control are two effective ways to prevent fraud from happening. One of them focuses on the risks that companies face and how to deal with them and the second one focuses on the company’s objectives to be reached. They are developed in this thesis through a literature review along with various fraud types. Indeed, a literature review has been made collecting and gathering information from the existing literature. Two main topics have been addressed in this review, namely: fraud and fraud prevention. In the second part, professionals from the banking sector have been interviewed since a qualitative study was conducted. With the help of a semi-structured questionnaire, they have had the opportunity to share with us their experience and opinion on the matter. All details collected have been put in parallel in order to get a full view on what is actually happening in practice. In the end, the theoretical information was partially compared to the empirical study. We have noticed that the literature is quite close to what is done in banks. Indeed, this was the area of focus. Internal audit and internal control are frequently, not to say always, used in banks in order to prevent risks such as fraud risk. Banks are well protected against risks they face. The development of such procedures to prevent fraud must be continuous and able to adapt to new situations not yet experienced mostly linked to digital progress.

In Managerial Fraud, Dr Terry Sheridan reports the findings of her study of fraudulent executives. Her work illuminates the particular methods fraudsters employ to appear more authentic than the average person and reveals two types of executive fraudster with very different behaviours. All this helps to explain why the current Red Flag approach fails to identify potential fraudsters and instead tends to focus on Red Flag executives who are negative characters, but non-fraudulent. Better understanding of what Dr Sheridan has uncovered might result in organisations being able to reduce their exp

Recent large-scale corporate collapses, such as Lehman Brothers, Enron, Worldcom, and Parmalat, highlight the implosion of traditional models of fraud prevention. By focusing on risk factors at the micro level, they have failed to take into account the broader context in which external auditors operate as well as the crucial importance of such factors as corruption, organizational culture, corporate social responsibility, ethical values, governance, ineffective regulation, and a lack of transparency. Corporate Fraud and Corruption engages readers by showing how evidence-based, multi-level micro and macro analysis of fraud risk and protective factors inform effective fraud prevention, in turn minimizing financial catastrophes. Krambia-Kapardis focuses on her own empirical research into the aetiology of fraud to showcase a holistic approach to fraud prevention. This book also features major case studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
