From the Inside Flap
If you have to sign on the dotted line and if your success depends on the bottom line, this is the book for you.
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, CEOs and CFOs must now sign on the dotted line, personally attesting to the accuracy of financial statements and to the fact that their companies have proper internal controls to prevent and detect fraud. That's a tremendous responsibility. This book helps executives understand complex compliance requirements, identify types of fraud, implement awareness and prevention training, and establish a robust fraud detection, investigation, and prevention program. More importantly, it helps companies establish an ongoing culture of compliance. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) reports that the average organization loses six percent of its annual revenue to fraud and abuse; a proactive culture of compliance can significantly improve a company's bottom line.
Authoritative and comprehensive, Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control covers:
This is not a dry, accounting treatise; it focuses on the human element and appropriate safeguards, checks, and balances. Interviews with a convicted fraudster, a corporate fraud investigator, and a fraud prevention visionary give a unique, first-hand perspective. Executive Insights throughout the book detail case studies related to the content. Each chapter has an Executive Summary that condenses the key points for busy executives.
Whether you're a CEO, CFO, manager, auditor, controller, risk management professional, or a student, Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control is your best route to understanding all the complex issues and responsibilities associated with fraud and compliance.
