Forensic Accounting (How To Investigate Financial Fraud)

RM1,800.00

Introduction

Forensic and investigative accounting is a relatively new discipline (Thornhill 1994). Principles, practices and approaches as well as forensic accounting and financial frauds are still flexible, as do the challenges, imagination, creativity and application, by accounting and forensic practitioners. Over time and probably, more accounting and financial fraud scenarios will contribute to a more pervasive development of the principles and guidelines and establish the precedence for future practitioners.
