Learn what works well and avoid the pitfalls in the real world
of fraud detection and fraud investigation
This casebook reveals how frauds and fraudsters were
discovered–and delves into the investigations that followed.
Each chapter covers a particular case, analyzing the factors that
allowed fraud to develop and assessing the effectiveness of the
detection process and the resulting fraud investigation.
Importantly, the casebook examines the steps taken by organizations
to recover from the cost of fraud and the damage that fraud has
caused.
* High-profile author, Peter Tickner, is well known in auditing
and investigative circles
* Cases of fraud, drawn from the author’s direct experience as
well as world-wide, are supplemented with checklists and practical
guidance on fraud detection
