The indispensable guide to detecting and solving financial crime in
the office
Low-level financial crimes are a fact of life in the modern
workplace. Individually these crimes are rarely significant enough
to warrant the hiring of professional investigators, but if left
unchecked, small crimes add up to big losses. In companies without
dedicated fraud investigators, detecting and solving low-level
crimes generally falls to managers and internal auditors. Financial
Crime Investigation and Control offers tips, tools, and techniques
to help professionals who lack investigative experience stem the
tide of small financial crimes before it becomes a tsunami.
Inside you'll find expert guidance on investigating and uncovering
common types of fraud, including:
* Credit card fraud
* Consumer fraud
* Kickbacks
* Bid rigging
* Inflated invoices
* Inventory theft
