DESCRIPTION:
the editors let the authors down The content in this book is great but the editors need to get their act together! Within the preface and first chapter there are at least three different numbers given for the size of ACFE. It's annoying to pay hundreds of dollars for a book that hasn't been properly edited.. D.L.C said Pretty Decent. The book is relatively well written with easily understood concepts. The massive amount of examples are tremendously helpful in bridging the gap between theoretical academics and real life fraud as well as making the reader think about fraud in different ways. For example, one case is about a normal inventory audit, except that the company was trying to pull a fast one by overstating their inventory. What the auditors did was to check the weight and size of the inventory that was on the books and compare it to the warehouse size and capacity of their forklifts. The two did not match as the warehouse w. too much repetition Seems like the 3 authors wrote this book without communication amongst each other. There is a lot of repetition, this book is over 600 pages and could be summarized in 100pages. In each chapter you re-read over and over again the stuff you've just read.It is also quite elementarythe quizz at the end of each chapter are really basic and nothing like the MCQ you get in a college classThe good point is that there are a lot of examples.
