Instead, it means that a hands-on approach to fraud detection and management is needed more than ever. The book does just that: * Takes a unique practical approach to the business of detecting, understanding, and dealing with fraud of all types * Aids in the development of key skills, including conducting investigations and managing fraud risk * Covers issues related to ethically and efficiently handling impulsive and systemic fraud, plus investigating criminals who may be running multiple scams * Addresses fraud from a global perspective, considering cultural and psychological factors that influence fraudsters Unlike other fraud investigation books on the market, Exposing Fraud develops the ethical and legal foundation required to apply theory and advice in real-world settings. From the simple to the complex, this book demonstrates the most effective application of anti-fraud techniques.
