Hi lkmcc
Not sure how to answer this without writing a book, though I am not trying to be flippant.
Over almost 30 years of using MYOB and doing book-keeping I can say 99% of fraud has been internal and by trusted employees.
There are certainly many many simple things you can implement in MYOB security features that can eliminate most of the opportunities - however, unfortunately this forum makes it a bit difficult to air such things without actual proof of credentials in that we actually don't know who you are - whether you are an employee or owner and the post may be a simple and innocent question, but it may be mining to gather clues on how to do (not so innocent things) in MYOB.
I think it behoves us on the forum, those who have substantial knowledge on how MYOB functions, and this certainly is intented for good use - but unfortunately I have seen bad book-keepers and have been asked to audit files by auditors to find problems.
I would be quite happy to write a checklist of such things, as would other very experienced CC on this forum but I would suspect their views to be similar to mine - we cannot authenticate who is asking.

Hi The_Doc
I am a newbie user just seeking assistance to protect the company and myself in a new position I am moving into after doing some risk analysis and finding holes - I'm not asking for step by step instructions, just suggestions on MYOB fuctions that I can look into so that I can better utilise MYOB and protect those that have access and the company. I am aware that most fraud happens from trusted employees, hence my comment about the majority of websites suggesting to "know your employees" - not very helpful or robust at all.
I have never used this forum before and as a relatively basic MYOB user looking to learn and implement change within my organisation, I thought this was the place to ask questions and learn - seems I will need to seek guidance from elsewhere.
Thanks,
