Corporate Fraud Handbook: Prevention and Detection, Second Edition
Fraud is a serious, costly, and growing epidemic for business and government.Now in a second edition, Corporate Fraud Handbook provides an insider's look into the most prevalent fraud schemes used by employees, owners, managers, and executives. Each scheme is illustrated with real-life case studies submitted to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) by certified fraud examiners who aided in the case resolutions.

Corporate Fraud Handbook,
This review is from: Corporate Fraud Handbook: Prevention and Detection (Hardcover)
I truly enjoy this book and would recommend it to anyone in the profession or interested in becoming a part of it. While the book is very informative,including many facts and figures, it reads like one is having a session of "shop talk" with the author and telling war stories. I rarely have a hard time putting nonfiction down, but this book is truly a gem.
