first - I am not nor will I be an accountant. This book was very informative and opened my eyes to fraud and how it is perpetuated on a local government level. The same thing applies in business as well. Mr. Hall has done a wonderful job explaining things here to the professional as well as the lay person. Makes me open my eyes and want to know what my local government is doing not to mention the state and federal governments.
Very well written, easy to read and understand. I am a watchdog for my county and this gave me many ideas of what to look for and review. This is for anyone that has any knowledge of accounting or how money is handled. Would recommend it highly.
Bought it this morning and read it all in one sitting. It was clear, concise and kept my attention with practical examples. I often find that some of the books I read on fraud topics are abstract and confusing. This one was just the opposite. Thanks for authoring this book Charles.
Charles captures key controls required not only in government entities, but all entities and illustrates what can happen in absence of those controls. If you are an auditor, accountant, manager, or board member you will find this information useful.
