FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Monday Effect Claims refer to workers compensation claims filed on Mondays for easy to conceal injuries such as strains, sprains, and back injuries. Researchers and industry experts have long believed that there is an element of fraud in these claims, resulting from individuals who were injured during the weekend, while not at work, looking to take advantage of the medical benefits available through workers compensation insurance.

Changing The Culture Of Nurse Practitioners: Incorporating Medical Billing And Coding To Prevent Fraud, Waste And Abuse, Tralissa Morrow

The Fraud Triangle And Tax Evasion, Leandra Lederman
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The “fraud triangle”—a theory of why people commit fraud —is the preeminent framework for analyzing fraud in the accounting literature.

Against this bleak backdrop, a dazzlingly introspective and hopeful book about lawyers and their mistakes-and about their suffering and possible moral growth-has been published.
