Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the early detection of occupational fraud in the Korean financial industry by analyzing fraud symptoms. Firstly, the definition, cause of occupational fraud, and fraud symptoms were discussed through literature review. Secondly, survey data were collected from the employees of the financial industry such as bank, insurance, and securities companies to conduct statistical analysis. The result of analysis showed that the symptoms of 'excessive stock investment' and 'unsettled life style' were statistically significant predictors of fraud detection experience. Plus, 'tips and complaints' were the most frequent method for detecting occupational fraud in the Korean financial industry. The financial institutions can minimize the loss of occupational fraud by early detection through educating their employees and vendors on these important symptoms of occupational fraud.

본 연구는 산업보안상 인적취약요소로 분류되는 조직구성원에 의한 업무부정행위의 정의와 발생원인, 방지대책 등에 대하여 문헌연구를 통해 고찰하고, 선행연구를 통해 드러난 부정행위의 행동적 발생징후들에 대하여 은행, 보험사, 증권사 등 국내 금융산업에 종사하고 있는 근로자들에게 설문자료를 수집하여 기술통계, 요인분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 부정행위의 발생징후들은 '경제적 동기', '비경제적 동기' 두 가지 요인으로 분류되었으며, '과도한 주식투자'와 '빈번한 이사 등으로 생활환경의 불안정'의 두 징후에 대한 정확성 평가와 실제 부정행위의 적발 경험이 통계적으로 유의미하게 연관되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 내 외부 제보에 의해서 업무부정행위가 가장 많이 적발되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 토대로 향후 금융산업에서 발생할 수도 있는 업무부정행위를 조기에 발견하여 피해규모를 최소화도록 일조하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다.
