A big thanks to Lee Distad for his kind review of Essentials of Corporate Fraud at his blog, Lee Distad’s Professional Opinion. Lee is a regular commenter here, and writes a great blog of his own on business issues. He’s always presenting something interesting.

Lee said in part:

Overall, Essentials of Corporate Fraud is a good basic primer for both identifying fraud, as well as improving your company’s safeguards against fraud.
