Topic Background:

Allegations and other signs of accounts payable (AP) fraud are commonplace throughout the corporate landscape. A company can be a victim of AP fraud, either with or without the collaboration of insiders within the company. Conversely, AP fraud can also be committed by a company’s employees and agents, thus potentially rendering the company itself liable as a perpetrator of fraud. Either way, it is crucial for companies to detect and properly respond to indications of AP fraud whenever they appear. This entails understanding the various ways in which AP fraud can be committed, the telltale signs of AP fraud, and the various options for responding to possible AP fraud once it is recognized.
