Book Review
By Kitty Hailey, CLI, CFE

Fraud Investigations
by Rory J. McMahon

McMahon provides a general overview of the Financial Investigator. He then breaks down the various categories with complete explanations, examples and even a vocabulary review to enhance the reader’s knowledge. References to current federal legislation, sources of information and examples provide a complete coverage of each area of financial investigation from Bankruptcy Fraud to Wire Fraud and everything in between. A well organized glossary and index provide the reader with easy to find citations. In fact, the glossary by itself makes an excellent and thorough dictionary of terms used in the world of financial fraud.
