Principles of Fraud Examination

by Joseph T. Wells

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.

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
