Insightful, not using much, however, as I just work for me and my clients are individuals, sole proprietors with no employees or businesses that have established controls in place that are solid. good to know, tho.

I liked this book, although to me most material about internal controls/fraud prevention is just common sense. I do not like the typeface/font in this book. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about it makes it difficult to read.

Not being familiar with this area, this was the most informative course for me. Things that I hadn’t considered before as possible fraud flags were pointed out. The course gave me straight, easy to understand pointers to apply to my everyday duties.

BENEDICT –
This book helped reinforce my knowledge of internal control in general. But I was amazed at the different ways people can defraud their employers without fear. It really was an eye opener and has got me thinking. This is a good reference book and a must have, especially if I am to provide training on internal control and fraud prevention to my future clients. I also look forward to taking additional courses on this subject matter. It would be nice if AIPB can have a more indept course on this topic; a sequel to this book will be very useful.
