Underpaid, unhappy and disgruntled employees pose the highest threat of  work place fraud, especially as it relates to computer crimes. Many of these individuals know what internal controls are in place and they have the ability to circumvent them or exploit weaknesses found within applications, systems and networks.

In order for any business to protect itself there must be sufficient security policies and procedures in place. Companies that fail to develop comprehensive policies and procedures to manage the risk of fraud can not respond effectively whenever a fraud occurs and may find themselves with a lawsuit on there hands if they fire an employee suspected of committing a fraud.
