Fraud: The Counter Fraud Practitioner's Handbook looks at fraud investigation methods and explores the practical options for preventing and remedying fraud. It examines the mode of investigation, the types of preventative and detection measures, and the range of sanctions that are most appropriate to the institutions, the types of criminal activity, and the countries involved. This is an essential reference for both public and private sector fraud and security specialists who need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each element of their organization's strategy against fraud and are seeking to learn from their colleagues in other industries or organizations.
