%X The advent of IT has created unprecedented opportunities for the occurrence of computer crime like fraud, committed by employees in particular. This paper focuses upon computer fraud committed by employees because reports claim that it is the employees who pose one of the greatest threats to organisations today. Further it argues that solely relying only on current legalisation and other sophisticated measures alone are inadequate for the managing the occurrence of computer fraud committed by employees. Therefore the onus of detecting and managing computer fraud committed by employee(s) lies within the organisations itself. In conducting the argument it discusses the shortcoming of the current legalisation and the challenges it can pose to deal with such acts. Consequently the main contribution of this paper is to enhance the awareness about management of computer fraud committed by employees.
