Prevention and Detection by Joseph T. Wells

Reviewed by Jim Kaplan

Corporate fraud; what’s it all about? Joseph T. Wells, the founder and Chairman of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners explains it to us from A to Z in this desktop handbook. I am sure you will be asking why you need another book on fraud prevention and detection. Well there are several reasons that you need this book. It is written by the foremost authority on fraud prevention and detection. It provides a comprehensive approach to the subject and much more. The author, a duly qualified expert, starts with an historical and research approach about fraud. He then dives into the three main categories of occupational fraud and abuse; asset misappropriation, corruption and fraudulent statements providing case studies for common schemes. There is coverage for each fraud scheme along with control procedures, tests, checklists, questionnaires and audit programs. The final section of the book covers fraudulent statements and includes information about the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An appendix to the book provides a sample code of business ethics and conduct.

If you don’t currently have a fraud prevention and detection handbook, this is the one to get. If you currently have one or more books on the subject in your audit library, there is always room for one more quality publication on the topic. Make it this one!
