You will apply the fraud triangle to the Martha Stewart case and identify the system flaws. Specifically, you should apply the fraud triangle to analyze how and why existing processes failed. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. What personal or professional pressures might have contributed to the breakdown in ethics?
2. How might existing processes have allowed for opportunities to behave illegally and/or unethically?
3. What rationalizations might have led those responsible for the improper behavior to believe that what they were doing was justified?
