Answer: Fraud is the use of misrepresentation or deception to receive money or an item of value. Kiting and Lapping are common techniques used to defraud a second party of cash.
Explanation:
Kiting: a method of defrauding banks involving drawing a check against an account which does not have any, or adequate amount. For instance, paying a check from Account A into account B and then drawing against the account from an account C in another bank, when there is actually no/insufficient money in account A, which should be paying the initial check.
Lapping: a method of defrauding an employer by modifying sales records to hide a theft. It typically involves the use of subsequent cash payments to cover the missing cash and this can be continuous unless there is a segregation of duties between employees in charge of cash collection and recording.
