Sumario:Transparency, action against fraud and above all avoid a very serious issue for organizations and the state as strong as fraud itself is impunity, has become both the public and private sectors in a social demand. According to the Survey on fraud and economic crime 2018, Mexico edition of Price Waterhouse Coopers indicates that of the percentage of organizations that experienced economic crimes (2016-2018) the greatest increase in economic crimes was registered in Latin America, with a 25-percentage point increase in comparison with 2016, countries in Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific experienced an increase of 14 and 16 percentage points, respectively. For this investigation the analytical deductive method was used with the objective of contributing to the generation of protocols of action against fraud by presenting cases of fraud occurring in companies and a compilation of standards and publications that define the importance and role of the internal audit in the investigation of frauds.
