This Is the Textbook version of Corprate FraudNov 22, 2004

This book is excellent and very readable. It is the textbook version of Corporate Fraud Handbook: Prevention and Detection by the same author which costs less. So unless you are using this in class or teach from it get the Corporate Fraud Handbook...it costs less. Either way you won't be sorry for having the book. It is worth it.

Excellent overview of Fraud ExaminationJul 09, 2010
By Catzie28
I needed this book for a required Forensic Accounting class at my college. I have to say, it was one of the more interesting textbooks I have ever read. This text incorporates a lot of case studies, which is interesting. The author is also extremely well known in his field, and his knowledge is very evident. I especially liked the way the text was organized, with an overview of the type of fraud, and then details about how the fraud is committed, and then a detail of what type of internal controls would have prevented or detected the fraud. Most chapters also have a list of computer tests you can run to detect fraud, which I imagine could be very helpful for the business owner/accountant. I think this text would be perfect for not only a college setting, but for anyone currently working in business that is worried about fraud in their organization.

By goat657
This was a required book for class. The book is well written, easy to understand and the chapter discussions reinforce the material studied. I plan on purchasing several other books on fraud by this author for my reference library as well as retaining this one.

Every accounting major should be required to take a course in fraud examination. Fraud is out there and is not going away. It will only continue to grow. This book has great case stories.
