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)

Product Description

Praise for the Fourth Edition of Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting

"Tommie and Aaron Singleton have made important updates to a book I personally rely very heavily upon: Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting (FAFA). In the newest edition, they take difficult topics and explain them in straightforward actionable language. All my students benefitted from reading the third edition of the FAFA to better understand the issues and area of fraud and forensic accounting. With their singular focus on understandability and practicality, this Fourth Edition of the book makes a very important contribution for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students. Bravo!"—Dr. Timothy A. Pearson, Director, Division of Accounting, West Virginia University, Executive Director, Institute for Fraud Prevention

"Finally someone has written a book that combines fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors have clearly explained both in their earlier edition and now they have enhanced the first with additional materials. The order in which the material is presented is easy to grasp and logically follows the 'typical' fraud examination from the awareness that something is wrong to the court case. The explanatory materials presented aid this effort by being both well placed within the book and relevant to the narrative." —Dr. Douglas E. Ziegenfuss, Chair and Professor, Department of Accounting, Old Dominion University

"Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting is a masterful compilation of the concepts found in this field. The organization of the text with the incorporation of actual cases, facts, and figures provides a logical and comprehensive basis for learning the intricacies of fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors successfully blend the necessary basics with advanced principles in a manner that makes the book an outstanding resource for students and professionals alike."—Ralph Q. Summerford, President of Forensic/Strategic Solutions, PC

Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting 1 Mar 2000
By Michael Dzielak - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

Recommended 31 May 2009
By Marissa Rich - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting 27 Dec 2006
By S. C. lee Hung - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.
