Book description
Learn what works well and avoid the pitfalls in the real world of
fraud detection and fraud investigation
This casebook reveals how frauds and fraudsters were discovered-and
delves into the investigations that followed. Each chapter covers a
particular case, analyzing the factors that allowed fraud to develop
and assessing the effectiveness of the detection process and the
resulting fraud investigation. Importantly, the casebook examines the
steps taken by organizations to recover from the cost of fraud and the
damage that fraud has caused.
