Unlike a criminal fraud prosecution that results in a prison sentence, civil enforcement results in non-prison sanctions such as monetary penalties and exclusion from certain industries or occupations.

The most common statutes for the criminal prosecution of fraud by the federal government are mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and securities fraud.
