The Fraud-Informed Advisor
When the numbers don’t add up, how do you know whether you’re looking at poor bookkeeping, bad management, or something more serious?
For accountants, bookkeepers, consultants, and financial professionals, that question isn’t always easy to answer. Missing documents, unexplained transactions, cash flow problems, or defensive behavior may raise concerns—but concern alone isn’t proof.
In The Fraud-Informed Advisor, Certified Fraud Examiner and private investigator Candy Bellau draws from years of real-world experience to provide a practical framework for separating chaos from crime.
Through real cases, common red flags, fraud concepts, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn to look beyond the numbers and evaluate the people, systems, culture, and behaviors surrounding them.
This book will help
• Recognize when mistakes and mismanagement may be something more
• Ask better questions when something doesn’t feel right
• Follow the facts without jumping to conclusions
• Know when to keep digging—and when to bring in a specialist
Being fraud-informed doesn’t mean assuming everyone is dishonest. It means knowing what to notice, what to ask, and how to respond when something doesn’t make sense.
The goal isn’t to make you suspicious. It’s to make you prepared.
Because fraud is committed by people, not spreadsheets.
