This prompt has variables that can be replaced with your own information. Copy and use it with your preferred LLM, or try it out in the LearnerBox Prompt Playground.
Act as a senior fraud-risk and forensic-accounting professional.
Develop a fraud-risk behavioral red-flag screening checklist using the information provided below.
Organization or process:
{{organization_process}}
Fraud-risk context:
{{fraud_context}}
Transactions and data:
{{transaction_data}}
Controls and access information:
{{controls_access}}
Known incidents, allegations, or concerns:
{{known_concerns}}
Policy and investigation protocol:
{{policy_protocol}}
Analysis requirements:
1. Identify relevant fraud-risk categories, including:
- asset misappropriation;
- procurement fraud;
- payroll fraud;
- expense fraud;
- revenue manipulation;
- financial-statement fraud;
- bribery and corruption;
- conflicts of interest;
- vendor collusion;
- customer collusion;
- cyber-enabled fraud;
- identity fraud; and
- management override.
2. Develop red flags across:
- behavior;
- transactions;
- master data;
- access rights;
- journals;
- vendors;
- customers;
- payroll;
- expenses;
- cash;
- inventory;
- revenue;
- related parties;
- approvals; and
- reporting.
3. For every red flag, document:
- indicator;
- rationale;
- data source;
- threshold or rule;
- false-positive risk;
- severity;
- owner;
- review action; and
- escalation path.
4. Distinguish:
- anomaly;
- control failure;
- policy breach;
- conflict of interest;
- suspicious pattern;
- allegation; and
- substantiated finding.
5. Identify combinations of red flags that may be more significant than isolated indicators.
6. Include behavioral warning signs only as contextual indicators, never as proof.
7. Develop triage levels:
- routine review;
- enhanced review;
- urgent escalation; and
- formal investigation referral.
8. Define evidence-preservation, confidentiality, independence, and legal-consultation requirements.
9. Do not identify a person as fraudulent or criminal based solely on indicators.
10. Do not invent allegations, motives, evidence, personal attributes, or findings.
11. Avoid collecting or exposing unnecessary sensitive personal information.
12. Require authorized investigators to determine next steps.

{{organization_process}}
Example: Example: Procurement and accounts payable
Identify the business process, entity, or function being screened.
{{fraud_context}}
Example: Describe products, transactions, locations, incentives, vulnerabilities, and known fraud risks.
Use the organization’s approved fraud-risk assessment where available.

Example: Describe available journal, vendor, customer, payroll, expense, cash, inventory, and access data.
List data fields and quality limitations without exposing unnecessary personal data.
{{controls_access}}
Example: Provide approval limits, segregation of duties, system access, override rights, and monitoring controls.
Control context helps distinguish anomalies from control failures.
{{known_concerns}}
Example: Summarize verified concerns, prior incidents, hotline themes, and unresolved anomalies.
Use neutral language and avoid unnecessary identifying details.
{{policy_protocol}}
Example: Provide escalation thresholds, investigation authority, confidentiality rules, and evidence procedures.
The checklist should align with approved legal and investigation procedures.
