According to Donald Cressey, who conducted extensive research with convicted criminals to determine what motivated seemingly honest people to commit fraud, three elements has to be present in order for person to commit fraud. They are pressure, rationalisation and opportunity.
This means essentially that people who are experiencing severe financial problems which they cannot discuss with others because of embarrassment or for other reasons find ways to commit fraud, thinking that they will not get caught, while convincing themselves that they are doing nothing wrong.
