This book has NOTHING to do with Forensic Accounting-the title is VERY deceptive-if you want a history of crime like who the Mafia is then go ahead and waste your time.....bad book

An instructor actually chose this text for a class. I know the choices were limited because this is a rather obscure subject, but there has to be something better than this! I have never seen a textbook biased until reading this one. This guy is clearly anti-union and is hung up on "Godfather"-type transactions. This book is absolutely worthless.

G.A. Manning does an excellent job of taking complex subjects, like law and accounting, and makes them interesting and easy to read. The book is a superb reference to the beginner by way of providing a broad overview of the many facets that forensic examiners are exposed to. The book is also a superb reference to the advanced reader as it reiterates in detail many of the audit program, internal control and evidentiary procedures. As a Certified Management Accountant in pursuit of the Certified Forensic Accounting designation, I enjoyed the book greatly.

I'm using this book in a class that I'm taking and I find most of the information current, up to date and interesting. I enjoy reading it because of some of the topics that are in it...I have lived some of the experiences that the author has written about and it lends credence to what is in it...
