	The Green Book's <u>emphasis on fraud and information security</u> as separate risk assessment activity is intentional. MC may be able to defer to the Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedure Manual as general steps taken to ensure the integrity of election results. Fraud occurs when loopholes are identified and exploited by the fraudsters. The implementers of election services (i.e., Arizona Counties) are better positioned to detect fraud and assess the risk of fraud because they are handling the data, not the state. Hence, governance gaps may be identified from patterns of poor assessment and response to risk with respect to election fraud and information security.

			===== Arizona Senate Allegations =====
			All three conditions of this attribute applied during the 2020 General Election.
			* '''Incentive/pressure''' - Management, other personnel, or external parties have an incentive or are under pressure, which provides a motive to commit fraud.
			** This was a General Election and Maricopa County was significant for the purposes of the Electoral College, which elects the President of the United States of America. Maricopa County the most densely populated County in Arizona. The outcome of Maricopa County can sway all of the Electoral Votes, which are cast in accordance with the winner. Therefore, there is more of an incentive to conduct fraud in Maricopa County than it is to conduct fraud in a rural county. There is more benefit for conducting fraud in Maricopa than there is for conduction fraud in Yavapai County.
			* '''Opportunity''' - Circumstances exist, such as the absence of controls, ineffective controls, or the ability of management to override controls, that provide an opportunity to commit fraud.
			** If malicious intent was present, there were months of opportunity for IT personnel to corrupt the database by independent audits were initiated.
			* '''Attitude/rationalization''' - Individuals involved can rationalize committing fraud. Some individuals possess an attitude, character, or ethical values that allow them to commit dishonest acts knowingly and intentionally.
			** MC elected officials and MC leadership were not transparent and intentionally stalled independent assessments, which could have been interpreted as performing the culturally appropriate actions, even if considered unethical by the public.

			The Green Book's Principle 8 addresses Assess Fraud, Improper Payment, and Information Security Risk. Obviously, improper payments is not a concern during the Assessment of Election Anomalies. However, improper payments by MC county may exist, but would require a separate assessment.

MC may be able to defer to the Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedure Manual as general steps taken to ensure the integrity of election results. Fraud occurs when loopholes are identified and exploited by the fraudsters.
