Pressure is what motivates a fraudster in
the first place. The individual has some
unsharable financial problem that they are
unable to solve through legitimate means,
so they begin to consider committing
an illegal act — such as stealing cash or
falsifying a financial statement — as a way
to solve their problem.
Opportunity defines the method by which
the crime can be committed. The individual
must see some way they can use (abuse)
their position of trust to solve their finan-
cial problem with a low perceived risk of
getting caught.
The vast majority of fraudsters are first-
time offenders with no criminal past. They
do not see themselves as criminals but
rather as ordinary, honest people who
are caught in a bad set of circumstances.
Consequently, the fraudster must justify
the crime to himself/herself in a way that
makes it an acceptable or justifiable act.

Inside the Fraudster’s MindSelected by Andi McNeal, CFE, CPAACFE Research Director
The ACFE Bookstore offers hundreds of resources including books and
manuals, self-study CPE courses, the CFE Exam Prep Course, merchan-
dise and more. In this interview, Andi McNeal, CFE, CPA, ACFE Re-
search Director, offers her suggestion on one must-have ACFE resource
to help you in your fight against fraud.
What is your professional background and current role at the ACFE?
My background is in public accounting. I worked for a small, regional CPA firm
doing tax and audit work before joining the ACFE. I am currently the Director of
Research for the ACFE; in this role, I oversee the development and production of
the ACFE’s educational materials and publications.
What ACFE bookstore product would you recommend as a beneficial
resource to CFEs?
Inside the Fraudster’s Mind, a workbook and video self-study course, explores the psychological
and criminological aspects of fraud.
Why would CFEs be interested in this product?
Determining why fraudsters undertake their schemes is the foundation of effectively com-
bating fraud. From the outside, fraud perpetrators look just like everyone else. But identifying
and understanding their unique thinking patterns provides insight that is invaluable for fraud
prevention, detection and investigation. Inside the Fraudster’s Mind analyzes real fraud cases
and uses video footage of convicted fraudsters to illustrate the human elements that are at the
heart of these crimes.
How is the information in this product useful for CFEs in their professional roles?
No matter what professional role a CFE is in, an understanding of the psychological factors that
lead to fraud is a crucial part of being successful at his or her job. This knowledge assists CFEs
in developing and implementing ethics and compliance programs, conducting fraud awareness
training, assessing and evaluating fraud risks, analyzing potential red flags, conducting interviews
and identifying deception. Understanding the mindset and motives behind white-collar crimes
and incorporating this perspective into all anti-fraud initiatives will help CFEs more effectively
prevent, detect and investigate fraud.
To learn more, see pg. 10.
