Fernandos Fraud Triangle is a retail establishment that has been experiencing lower revenues in the last six months, even though sales are up to 21.1 %.

Fernandos sells whatever products you want to sell and takes cash, credit cards, and checks.

All three categories-cash/checks/credit cards-have remained consistent with no significant increase-while sales are up.

There are three employees and all have access to the register and can override refunds and any other items that need to be charged back.

I have narrowed it down to three employees for you.

You have been called in as the Fraud Examiner to see who has their fingers in the till.
