The fraud scale model was originally developed as an alternative to what is known as the fraud triangle model. The fraud scale model places an emphasis on personal integrity rather than on rationalization. This model was developed by W. Steve Albrecht, and is especially applicable to financial reporting fraud.
An error represents an unintentional misstatement of the financial statement. it may be material or immaterial. fraud represents an intentional misstatement of the financial statement which can be material or immaterial.

Fraud examination and forensic accounting are distinct but somewhat related. Forensic accounting work is done by accountants in anticipation of litigation, which can include fraud, bankruptcy, valuation, and other professional accounting services. On the other hand, fraud examinations can be conducted by either accountants or non-accountants, and refer only to anti-fraud matters.
