Book description
This book shows how anyone who finds they need to investigate a fraud
at work can conduct a successful investigation and maximise their
chances of recovering stolen money. Drawing on the experiences of the
author, including his role in a number of high profile cases at two
organisations at the heart of government, the Treasury and the
Metropolitan Police, the book is peppered with real life examples and
case studies of the 'frauditor's' experiences, and lessons learned the
hard way including the cases of:
• The linguist who was lost for words
• Doctoring the suits at the hospital
• A magician at work
• Corporate credit cards for cops
Readable, and written to de-bunk the mysteries of fraud
investigation, this book includes interactive case studies to develop
the reader's skills in effective fraud detection and investigation.
