I finished the class and the book.

This is a text offering a framework to analysizing, understanding, and exposing occupational fraud. If you are interested in this field, this is a great text written by the president of the certified fraud association.

It's a textbook about fraud investigation, and that's pretty much what it is from cover to cover. It's solidly what one would expect from a FI textbook, and I appreciated the discussion sections at the end to test comprehension.

A useful textbook that isn't written for a bunch of academic busybodies. Probably the only textbook to which I will ever give four stars.

[Tamu Schwoeffermann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very similar to J. Well's Forensic Accounting & Fraud Examination... which was assigned for another class.

[Chelsea Castle · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for anyone wanting to obtain CFE accredation

The Author has written this book with love for the profession and has expressed his heart and wisdom throughout the book

Superb.

Yet a lot of topics needs more attention and explanation
