Compliance Plan: Avoiding Fraudulent Trends

In 1991, the OIG released seven elements of an effective corporate compliance plan. They were developed in response to the increase in corporate fraud – crimes committed by a company's own employees, officers or board members, for example. Developing and enacting a Corporate Compliance Plan can prevent internal crime and avoid fraudulent trends within a company's own walls. For the this assignment of your Compliance Process, locate the OIGs seven elements, list each element and describe the function of each as it relates to a company's compliance goal to avoid employee fraud. The description of each element should reflect your own comprehension of each element.

You should reference at least one research source (Wikipedia and your textbook are not acceptable research sources) in your paper, and you must include appropriate citations for those sources.
