Answer:
Yes I have ever experienced, witnessed, or heard about fraudulent activities. For

my classmate stole the money and ballpen of my friend and we saw it on his bag.After that,

2. Discuss the elements of the Fraud Triangle in the fraudulent activity you cited.
Answer:
Fraud Triangle
Opportunity - When it comes to theft, there has to be something to steal as well as a way to
steal it. Anything valuable is worth stealing. Any flaw in a system, such as a lack of oversight,
is an opportunity to steal.

Pressure - Owing to a shortage of money, the boy commits theft due to pressure from
personal issues that create a want for more money.

Rationalization - Based on my cited, I think he did it because he really needed the money
to buy his snacks but he did it the wrong way of asking for help about his situation that’s why
he tried to steal it.

3. What internal control or measure could have been employed in order to avoid the said
fraudulent activity? Provide recommendations.
Answer:
The internal control or measure could have been employed in order to avoid the said
fraudulent activity is to know your surroundings with people so you should be alert on your
things and potential theft of people that surrounds you. Camera systems that record and
monitor building activities can help both prevent violence and catch criminals if a break-in
occurs. Invest a locker to protect and keep lock your valuable things or keep your valuables
things out of sight.
