Given the expanse of the sector and the number of individuals handlin g financial data\, the chances of fraudulent practices are very high. As s uch\, officials need to be well informed of the possibilities of fraud and well prepared with the best methods to detect and prevent them. Fraud is committed by those under pressure\, opportunity or rationalization to comm it the fraud.\n\nFraud in the government has an exponential impact on not just citizens and governance\, but also on the overall economic developmen t of the country. Some common signs of fraud include living beyond one’s own means\, paying unusually close attention to certain clients/vendors\, refusing to share responsibilities and duties with anyone\, etc.\n\nMany public sector organizations rely solely on external auditors to detect fra ud\, although typically an audit has been designed to check fair presentat ion of financial statements rather than detecting fraud. The government ha s had its share of employee embezzlement\, theft\, false expenses and misa ppropriation of money.\n\nAmong all types of fraud\, fraudulent financial reporting is on the rise. Fraudulent financial reporting is the intentiona l misrepresentation of financial statements with the aim of earning profit s and misleading recipients about operational performance and financial li ability.\n\nIn the government\, fraudulent financial reporting is usually committed to receiving funding for projects\, financing terms and interest rates. There are various methods and signs to indicate fraud within the g overnment. Government accounting fraud highly influences investor decision s to issue bonds and has a grave impact on taxpayers\, citizens and civic employees.\n\nConsidering that all taxpayer money is at stake\, the govern ment needs to implement stringent systems and processes to help keep a che ck on financial information\, transactions and operations to prevent fraud . Financial information handling for government accounting purposes is not completely digital and is subject to manual intervention.\n\nThis itself explains why detection and prevention against fraud\, especially financial /accounting fraud\, needs to be treated so seriously.
