Understand the concept of the fraud triangle, which is a framework used to explain the factors that lead to fraudulent behavior in accounting and business contexts.

The fraud triangle consists of three components: Opportunity, Pressure, and Rationalization. These elements are essential in identifying and preventing fraud.

Opportunity refers to the circumstances that allow fraud to occur, such as weak internal controls or lack of oversight.

Pressure represents the motivation or incentive to commit fraud, such as financial difficulties or unrealistic performance expectations.

Rationalization is the justification or reasoning that individuals use to convince themselves that their fraudulent actions are acceptable or not wrong.
