Required Reading for

Every accounting major should be required to take a course in fraud examination. Fraud is out there and is not going away. It will only continue to grow. This book has great case stories.

This Is the Textbook version of Corprate Fraud

This book is excellent and very readable. It is the textbook version of Corporate Fraud Handbook: Prevention and Detection by the same author which costs less. So unless you are using this in class or teach from it get the Corporate Fraud Handbook...it costs less. Either way you won't be sorry for having the book. It is worth it.
