The self-study course, Finding the Truth: Effective Tech-niques for Interview and Communica-tion, is a beneficial resource because it outlines the skills needed to become a better communi-cator, interviewer and report writer.”

Misty Carter, CFE, CIAACFE Research Specialist

At some point in their careers, CFEs will inevita-bly be tasked with writing a report after completing an investigation, and many examiners dread this final step in the process. Whether they have extensive writing experience or haven’t done much since English 101 in college, CFEs can find valuable information and ideas to boost their confidence and writing skills in the Report Writing Manual.”

Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control, Second Edition

The word ‘compliance’ is tossed around a lot these days. There are many different types of compliance, and often it is hard for fraud examiners to wade through all the mounds of white papers, articles and journals to find the information directly related to fraud. This book removes the clutter and hands you what you need to know. The authors (both of whom are long-time CFEs) explain clearly what your organization should be doing with regard to compliance

programs and internal controls directly related to fraud prevention and deterrence.”

2014 Fraud Examiners Manual

I believe that the Fraud Ex-aminers Man-ual is the most comprehensive and informa-tive product that the ACFE offers. It covers all facets of a fraud exam-ination, from gathering information and interviewing suspects to the legal considerations that influence both how a case is conducted and its out-come. The manual not only provides individuals with the complex body of knowledge that they need to succeed on the CFE Exam, but also serves as an ongoing source of information regarding the logistics and red flags of fraud schemes, best practices for handling and preserving evidence, best methods for analyzing data, laws under which a case can be prosecuted and countless other elements essen-tial to a successful investigation.”

Amy Scott, CFECFE Exam Program Manager

Financial Statement Fraud: Strategies for Detection and Investigation

As a former auditor, financial statements were one of the first places I found outlier transac-tions which in many cases took me to fraud’s doorstep. There is never an end to the num-ber of methods those with intent to deceive will go to weave their fraud into the whole cloth of accounting transactions. Pulling on threads to unravel potential fraud was al-ways good fun, and Gerry’s book has a lot of insight and analytical approaches to detecting and investigating financial statement fraud.”

Allan Bachman, CFEACFE Education Manager

Corporate Fraud Hand-book, Fourth Edition

The material covered in the Corporate Fraud Handbook is important and applicable to CFEs in all professional roles. The book walks through the detailed mechanics of dozens of occupa-tional fraud schemes and includes practical tips on preventing, detecting and investi-

gating each of these schemes.”
