Fraud Risk Management for Medical Doctors

Introduction

Fraud is an intentional act by one or more individuals involving the use of deception to obtain an unjust or illegal advantage over another (adapted from the International Standards on Auditing 240). Medical doctors have become soft targets for fraud in both their private and professional capacities. This is because doctors rarely have time to investigate the origin of emails and financial documents and generally do not have the support of IT staff to reduce fraud risk arising from the use of technology.
