A university edition of the Corporate Fraud Handbook, this book has been created to provide the most authoritative treatment available on Fraud Accounting. Like no other book on fraud, this book explains fraud schemes used by employees, owners, managers, and executives to defraud their customers and illustrates each scheme with real-life case studies submitted to the ACFE by actual fraud examiners who aided in the case resolutions. It shows the reader how to spot the "red flags" of fraud, how to comply with recent regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley, and how to develop and implement effective preventative measures.
