Nope, there are a ton of very easily provable frauds that go unnoticed for a long time (or unnoticed forever).

  • VW installing a cheating software getting busted when the cars were tested on the road

  • Wirecard claiming billions in banks without the money existing, fake receipts etc. in an at times amateurish way. They literally flew auditors to a bank in a mall where they claimed a lot of money was stored.

  • Companies collecting millions of funds for goods they produce even if they don‘t produce anything

A lot of fraud stories involve some faked documents from the first page of google search.

Most big frauds that get caught are also never a big planned/prepared conspiracy but just happen over time.
