Fraud Risk Management. A practical guide for accountants
Elsevier Science and Technology, Nov 2007, Pages: 176
This book provides a user-friendly guide to current and emerging issues in fraud both internal to the company, and external. It explains the terminology used and sets out the chief risks which management accountants need to be aware of. It then sets out a practical framework for the management and mitigation of fraud risk. This is followed up by an explanation of what to do in the event of concerns that a fraud has been perpetrated, is underway or is being attempted. The book also guides the reader through the process of dealing with the law enforcement authorities in the event of an investigation. The book is for all those accountants who are not professionals in risk management or investigation procedures, but who need to be aware of the issues, many of which will impact on their area of responsibility; it therefore aims to give them a user-friendly manual to the issue of fraud risk.
