Fraud in Accounting Research Prospectus Outline
Proposal:
Fraud is a huge risk through accounting in many businesses. As the number of income and total cost increases throughout the company, the ethical risk of fraud increases as well. Accountants repeatedly encounter opportunities where accountants can commit fraud every time they step into their offices to work. Accountants can fall into the pressure by the company’s success and expectations, that accountants will illegally adjust the numbers to give a false image of success to the company. Accountants face ethical dilemmas when discovering violations. These violations could cause many employees to be laid off if accountants report them to the government. Not only that, but accountants have to deal with the effects of greed. Accountants need very good self- control when it comes to handling with large amounts of money. I plan to argue in this research project that companies should require more supervision throughout the acts of accounting to supervise and review the works of accountants to decrease the risk of ethical and criminal violations such as fraud in the workplace. I will argue that the more supervision in accounting the less risk of ethical or criminal violations in the workplace. Research indicates that the larger the financial numbers of a company, the higher the chance that the accountant will commit fraud. I will use this information to back up my claim that the work of accountants should be supervised and reviewed more often. Furthermore, not only should accountants be supervised in the work place, but the bank accounts of the accountant and the company should also be reviewed to look out for suspicious activities. I will support this claim by establishing a logical reason for accountants to be supervised by the company. The reasons the work of accountants should be supervised is so that the risk of fraud decreases. The
