What is a fraud auditor?

A Fraud Auditor is a professional responsible for detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent activities within an organization. They examine financial records, business operations, and internal controls to identify any signs of fraud or misconduct. Fraud Auditors also recommend ways to minimize risk and improve processes to safeguard company assets. Their work is crucial in maintaining financial integrity and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations.

Both Fraud Auditors and Forensic Accountants analyze financial data related to fraud. Fraud Auditors primarily focus on detecting and preventing fraud through audits, while Forensic Accountants investigate and gather evidence for legal proceedings. The roles often overlap but differ in scope and application, with Fraud Auditors emphasizing compliance and internal controls, and Forensic Accountants specializing in legal investigations.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in fraud audit roles?

Fraud auditors often encounter challenges such as staying current with evolving fraud tactics, managing large volumes of financial data, and maintaining objectivity under pressure from stakeholders. They also need to balance thorough investigations with tight deadlines and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards. Effective collaboration with other departments, such as compliance, legal, and IT, is essential to identify risks and implement preventive measures.

  • Coordinate cross-functionally (Legal, Compliance, Risk & Assurance, Operations) to gather required documentation and data
  • Maintain a tracking log of all open and closed RFIs, including status, owners, and deadlines
  • Support preparation for external audits and assessment requests in partnership with the Risk and Assurance team

Stakeholder & Ecosystem Partnership
  • Serve as a subject matter expert with working knowledge of LHCSA agency operations, MCO/health plan compliance and SIU functions, and state regulator expectations
  • Partner with MCO/health plan SIU and compliance counterparts on shared investigations and referral processes
  • Support the Senior Director in maintaining relationships with regulators, MFCUs, and law enforcement partners
  • Provide the frontline and health plan perspective when designing or refining investigative and audit processes

Required Skills:
  • Demonstrated experience investigating and/or auditing fraud, waste, and abuse in a Medicaid or healthcare setting
  • Familiarity with LHCSA agency operations, MCO/health plan compliance or SIU functions, and state or federal regulator expectations; experience across more than one of these perspectives is a strong plus
