Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting

Is your organization protected from fraud?

Today's demanding marketplace expects auditors to take responsibility for fraud detection, and this expectation is buoyed by such legislation as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Auditing Standard (SAS99), which requires increased performance on the part of the auditor to find material financial statement fraud.

ULR offers publications/programs that provide a thorough, up-to-date grounding in forensic accounting and fraud investigation techniques. They reveal the surprising complexity of fraud deterrence, detection, and investigation, and offer a step-by-step approach to understanding that complexity.
