Roots of Fraud is essential to those who need to know more about fraud. The book not only explains fraud and its various types, it also discusses the elements of fraud that would normally exist when fraud occurs. The book also provides a few Malaysian cases that were involved with fraud. Roots of Fraud underscores the social psychology theory, i.e. the Theory of Planned Behaviour, which explains factors that might influence an individual to engage in fraudulent behaviour. The understanding of this theory is important so that appropriate actions can be taken to reduce the occurrence of fraudulent behaviour. The book also enlightens the readers on the importance of the roles of religious, ethics and moral obligation in reducing the occurrence of fraud. Finally, the Roots of Fraud provides some recommendations to companies and its management in ensuring quality directors and quality management systems.
