A **detective control** is an internal control feature that identifies errors or fraud after they have occurred. However, to prevent errors or fraud from happening in the first place, you would be looking for a **preventive control**. Preventive controls are designed to stop errors or fraud from occurring in the first place. Examples include segregation of duties, authorization requirements, and access controls.
