This book does a great job of explaining Internal Controls & Fraud Prevention. This book is a great find. Any small business owner could benefit greatly from this book if they are looking to hire employees. I see it frequently that small business owners are afraid to hire help due to the potential of dishonest employees. Prevention is the key and internal controls are a major help. I really like the structure of the AIPB books; concise, easy to understand chapters with examples and plenty of problems to work in the form of 2 quizzes after each chapter. It’s hard not to learn the content!

It would be much more beneficial if the content of the course was up to date. I believe the copyright on the book was 2007. Not only is much of the information old and out of date, but there is a lot of information that could be included that has not been.
