Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rationalization/attitude relates to the employee fabricating an internal moral excuse for the fraud. They may try to justify their actions by convincing themselves that they are entitled to what they are stealing or that the victim deserves to be taken advantage of for some reason. This is a common tactic used by fraudsters to ease their conscience and avoid feelings of guilt or remorse.
