Are there tell-tale signs that your employees are conspiring to commit fraud? A study by consulting company Ernst & Young in collaboration with the FBI showed that there are 3,000 words and phrases that fraudsters commonly use in emails.
Here are the top 15:
Cover up
Write off
Illegal
Failed investment
Nobody will find out
Grey area
They owe it to me
Do not volunteer information
Not ethical
Off the books
Backdate
No inspection
Pull earnings forward
Special fees
Friendly payments
