[q]What are the three key elements of fraud triangle?

[a]
(1)Motivation: Motivation refers to a perceived financial ( or other) need. The fraudster may be in debt, hold a personal grudge, have a problem with drugs or gambling, or want to enjoy status symbols, such as a bigger house or car.

Rationalization may include thoughts such as “I deserved the money,” “I was only borrowing the money,””my family needs the money,” “my employer has loads of money anyway,” or ”my employer treats me unfairly.”

Opportunity is the element over which organizations-and, by extension, IS auditors have the most control.
