DESCRIPTION:
Information really needs to be updated After using this book for a forensic accounting class, it was alright. I was a little annoyed with the publication date being 2011, but the information in the book has not been updated since its original publication date, they only added information at the end of the book. For example, in one chapter it is talking about the currencies used in tax haven countries, it mentions that Andorra uses the French Franc and the Spanish PesetaNeither currency has been in use in over 10 years! The country uses the Euro. It was little things like that throug. "Financial Investigation & Forensic Accounting Review" according to Paul P. Donahue. G.A. Manning does an excellent job of taking complex subjects, like law and accounting, and makes them interesting and easy to read. The book is a superb reference to the beginner by way of providing a broad overview of the many facets that forensic examiners are exposed to. The book is also a superb reference to the advanced reader as it reiterates in detail many of the audit program, internal control and evidentiary procedures. As a Certified Management Accountant in pursuit of the Certified Forensic Accounting designation, I enjoyed the book. Waste of good paper An instructor actually chose this text for a class. I know the choices were limited because this is a rather obscure subject, but there has to be something better than this! I have never seen a textbook biased until reading this one. This guy is clearly anti-union and is hung up on "Godfather"-type transactions. This book is absolutely worthless.
In recent years, the law enforcement community has become more aware of “white collar” crime, yet has lacked the training for combating these criminals. Meanwhile, accountants are witnessing a rise in financial crime, but are not accustomed to examining for fraud during their audits. The text guides readers through the process, from detection to indictment and conviction. It has become imperative for students training for law enforcement and accounting careers to expand their knowledge and expertise to include both legal and financial aspects of economic crime.
