Final Summary

Fraud remains one of the most challenging concepts to deal with as a crime. Behind this, many influences spur and invoke thoughts, opinions and reasoning of what ‘dishonesty' is in a crime which is all about imputing dishonesty, whether those influences are social (the abhorrence of having such a criminal around in the community), the religious, the loss to your business, legal reasoning, or your own standards of behaviour.

Incidentally, but importantly, not to apply your skills is as pointless as being a concert pianist and never playing the piano. Unless you have personal reasons for not applying your talents and skills, it is an unfortunate discarding of them, both to you and to those who can benefit from you. The world needs competent and committed fraud investigators more than ever.
