When situational pressures and perceived opportunities are low and personal integrity is high, occupational fraud is much more likely to occur than when the opposite is true.
Rationale for Correct Answer: The statement is false . Cressey’s fraud triangle and Albrecht’s fraud scale both emphasize that fraud is more likely when pressures are high, opportunities are present, and integrity is low . Conversely, when pressure and opportunity are low and integrity is high, the likelihood of fraud is greatly reduced.
Analysis of Incorrect Options:
A. True – Incorrect, it directly contradicts the fraud triangle and fraud scale models.
B. False – Correct, because under the conditions stated, fraud occurrence is less likely.
