I myself was embezzled many years ago and this book identified the 'methods' that the perp used all to efficiently. A penny saved as it were. Some good insight into other areas of fraud and what to look for. NOBODY is immune to fraud.

Having been through investigations, this was sort of basic information for me. I suppose for someone who is wanting the basics, this would be a good book.

Great balance and inclusion of information I was seeking.

I was happy with this product.

Overall, this book provided a basic overview of various forms of fraud, as well as some of the steps to be taken with regards to appropriate investigations. The title is certainly misleading given the content of the book. One who would be interesting in being an "expert" fraud investigator should not use this book as a "step-by-step guide". The author, however, does make note of this in the beginning of the book. Basically, a decent introductory resource for someone with little or no knowledge of fraud or fraud investigation.

I really like this book. I am a certified fraud examiner, and have been a sole practitioner practicing in this area since 1996. I read a few books and many articles on fraud every year. This is one of the best.

In a logically structured presentation, Coenen walks through all of the major types of fraud and discusses the thought process that an investigator should use when trying to detect each of them. The discussions of each thought process is typically aided by five to fifteen bullet points--not excessive lists by any means--that the investigator should make sure to consider.

She maintains an engaging, conversational tone throughout the book, with just enough detail and war stories to illustrate the procedures and techniques that she presents. Coenen's book reeks of actual, real-life experience. You can feel the depth and breadth of her fraud investigation experience as you read this book.

Expert Fraud Investigation starts out with three chapters describing the beginning of the cycle: finding fraud, beginning the investigation, and managing the case. These are useful not only for the investigator; attorneys or corporate managers hiring a fraud investigator will also benefit from the delineation of the thought processes and approaches that the investigator should be taking.

Chapters four through six provide a general overview of how to conduct a fraud investigation: searching for fraud, sources of information, and investigative techniques. These chapters give a good overview and some discussion of the thought processes to use.

Chapters seven through ten discuss specific types of fraud and specific investigative steps usually taken to detect them. They cover asset misappropriation schemes, financial statement frauds, corruption schemes, and external frauds such as Ponzi schemes and insurance fraud. The book then concludes with chapters on reporting and litigation, and other issues such as how to market a fraud investigation practice.

Expert Fraud Investigation presents its topic comprehensively, but without redundancy or overkill: Coenen hits each idea once and moves on. There is no new information that I didn't already know, but this book is a great summary of most of the things I need to know to do my work. It is probably a book I will pick up and read a few more times when I need a refresher or am stumped on a fraud investigation.

This book is a good read for fraud investigators with all levels of experience, for judges and lawyers who deal with expert witnesses or consultants in fraud cases, and for corporate managers fearful that they may need a fraud investigation at their own company.

The author sets the pace early by making the incredibly inaccurate statement that "Audits are aimed at giving negative assurance: The auditors are not aware of anything that would make the financial statements incorrect." This is so unimaginably and fundamentally wrong, I'm having a hard time sitting still. The very purpose of an audit is to provide positive assurance -- everyone who stayed awake on day 1 of Auditing 101 knows this. This statement by the author calls into question the credibility of any and all representations of fact made by her. For me, this book was doomed right from Chapter 1.

As for style points, I found the book to be clumsy and awkward. The author is not afraid to beat a dead horse, and then beat it again -- her penchant for repetition is nearly comical. To me, it was not an enjoyable read.

Some worthwhile information is shared here. However, I agree with other reviewers that the presentation is at times remedial and the coverage of certain topics is thin -- and again, which statements are reliable? The book absolutely fails to live up to its price tag.

In my opinion, the information in this book could be better obtained elsewhere. I wish I had not purchased and read this particular book.

The book goes through the different steps of conducting an investigation. It tells you about what could happen if certain controls are not in place. However, there are not many real-life examples of fraud cases.
