Almost three quarters of the cases involving expense reimbursement fraud were perpetrated by someone at:

Question

Options

• AExecutive level
• BEmployee level
• COwner level
• DStakeholder level

• A
  83% (49)
• B
  5% (3)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  10% (6)

Explanation

Executive-level employees account for nearly three-quarters of expense reimbursement fraud cases because they typically have greater authority to approve their own expenses, face less scrutiny, and have access to larger expense budgets - making it easier to abuse the system with less oversight. Employees (B) commit expense fraud too, but they represent a smaller share because their expense limits and approval chains are tighter. Owners (C) are less relevant in this context because they rarely file expense reimbursements in the same way employees do - they draw from the business more directly. Stakeholders (D) are generally external parties (investors, board members) who don't typically submit expense claims at all.

Memory tip: Think "power = less oversight = more opportunity." Executives sit at the top of the approval chain, so they're best positioned to exploit reimbursement systems - remember "E for Executive, E for Expense abuse."
