Historically, the corporate tendencyhas been to react to fraud after the fact, rather than to beproactive in its prevention. And in most cases, blame is directedat accountants and auditors. Unfortunately, these officers arerarely provided with the resources, proper training, and commitmentfrom top management that are essential to effective fraud detectionand control. The Accountant s Guide to Fraud Detection and Controloffers comprehensive direction for this largely unchartedarea.\u003cbr\u003e Two types of fraud are addressed in this book: fraudulent financialreporting, also known as \"Treadway\" fraud, usually originating inthe top management sector; and \"asset-theft\" fraud, the more commonand more costly type, likely to be practiced by virtually anyone,including outsiders. Treadway fraud is being adequately detected byindependent auditors (CPAs) in their annual audits. Asset-theftfraud is not being adequately detected by anyone, with very fewexceptions. From following clues to achieving a prosecution, hereis sound advice that accountants and auditors will findinvaluable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Businesses lose over $100 billion a year to fraud.
