Abstract: 

Through empirical research, this article is about the techniques and methods terrorists use in order to obtain funds for their operations. I also note the conditions needed to be exiting when identifying fraud. The US Government goes through great lengths to prevent these acts with the help of specialised task forces and forensic accountants. The article explains specific methods used to detect and prevent these acts, while also citing specific examples from over the years. It concludes that although much has been done in this area, much more work is needed. With technology improving every day, terrorists are able to adapt themselves better to the increasing legislation and methods being implemented.
