The material is this book may be a bit outdated in terms of how fast technology is engaging in such fraud as we see in today’s times. However, reading all the material in this book was useful to knowing the issues that can occur in all areas of fraud. The section on Vendor fraud was interesting to read and discovered areas I would of not known. Overall, it’s a requirement, and this book explains it well enough to understand the areas you should be alert to in taking a position as a bookkeeper.
