Abstract

The purpose of this work is to present a method for the implementation of preventive technological tools like “The Fraud Explorer” for control and monitoring of fraud and corruption; The nature of this system is based on Donald Cressey’s fraud triangle and for this it uses a dictionary of words that are related to this type of wrongdoing; It is installed in each workstation silently in Windows or Linux and has a Linux server with an OpenVZ container that manages a dictionary of words and compares what users type in their working hours on the institution’s computers, in case of finding a match issues an alert that must be investigated and thus prevent illegal acts.

It is essential to resolve the gaps in the implementation of this tool, such as the legal regulations that allow this process to be carried out successfully without incurring problems of a violation of privacy, the way in which the entity should organize for the implementation and monitoring to which is presented a proposal in four phases in such a way that it provides solidity to carry out this process successfully.
