Product Description
Review
"…look at the expanded scope that fraud and other white collar crimes have taken on in the business landscape, attributed in part to the pervasiveness of computerized accounting systems, the World Wide Web, the occurrence of large–scale frauds such as Enron and WorldCom, which requires financial accountants to provide a new level of assertion as to the veracity of a company′s financial records." (Strategic Finance, April 2009)

PRAISE FOR Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting, Third Edition
"An excellent primer for developing and implementing an antifraud program as part of a SOX 404, fraud prevention and detection process. A clear and concise history of fraud and the methods needed to deter it now and for the future. It is like having a professor on call and in your office when you need one. Well written with easy–to–understand definitions and examples, this is a must–read for anyone who is putting a financial investigation unit in place."
—George Mullins, CFE, HealthSouthInternal Audit Manager and Project Manager, Antifraud Program
"The book is an excellent anti–fraud resource for those professionals charged with the responsibility of detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud. I also highly recommend it to educators as a prospective textbook for a semester–long course in macro fraud examination."
—Thomas Buckhoff, PhD, CPA, CFE, Associate Professor of Forensic Accounting, Georgia Southern University, and Principal, FraudWise, LLC
"This book, better than any other in print, hits the subject areas I cover in my fraud examination and forensic accounting class. The authors have done a great job of presenting complicated terms and techniques in a manner for students to understand. I particularly like the presentation of a fraud′s endgame, namely the court case that recovers assets and puts these creeps in jail."
—Douglas E. Ziegenfuss, Professor and Chair, Department of Accounting,Old Dominion University

Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting, 1 Mar 2000
By Michael Dzielak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting: New Tools and Techniques (Hardcover)
This was not what one would expect from the title. There were no methodologies provided to research and detect fraud and very little in terms of accounting controls was addressed. The book is a collection of anecdotes and cases with very little practical information that transcends the most basic concepts. The book spends too much time discussing behavioral aspects of fraud as opposed to legitimate financial investigation. Overall, a huge disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended, 31 May 2009
By Marissa Rich - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting (Hardcover)
Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting is an easy and enjoyable read which provides a well-rounded introduction to the field. It describes in detail the various means by which financial frauds are often perpetrated, and the various means by which forensic accountants and other anti-fraud professionals may prevent and detect such manipulation.[...], the material is not particularly technical and is certainly not accounting-intensive - as an introductory book, its focus, naturally, is more broad than deep, and its style is approachable to beginners with little prior knowledge of the subject.

By S. C. lee Hung "auditing" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting (Hardcover)
In my opinion, this book describe in detail the types fraud that can be perpetrated and how it is perpetrated. It also shows us how to detect the red flags in different types of frauds. Overall, it does fulfill my needs in buying the book in terms of how to look for the red flags and how I should focus my risk areas in terms of frauds auditing.
