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
