The Definitive Encyclopedia of Fraud

Former FBI agent and white-collar crime expert Joe Wells, founder of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, is one of the world's premier experts on internal fraud by employees, managers, and executives -- or what he calls "occupational fraud."

Thus, this book, which is based on hundreds of case studies, is not only an excellent primary text but a fine reference for anyone with a professional interest in fraud detection and prevention.
