Fraud Risk Assessment: Building a Fraud Audit Program

Description

Today's professional standards are requiring corporations, CPA firms and internal auditors to provide Sarbanes-Oxley and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regulators with assurance and opinions regarding fraud risk management and to incorporate fraud detection into their audit plan. But many auditors today are, unfortunately, ill-equipped on how to prevent or handle fraud.

Providing a comprehensive framework for building an effective fraud prevention model, "Fraud Risk Assessment: Building a Fraud Audit", presents a readable overview for developing fraud audit procedures and building controls that successfully minimize fraud. Author Leonard Vona, shows readers how to build a fraud model using a fraud risk assessment strategy that requires consideration of the fraud schemes, fraud concealment strategies, opportunity points and fraud motivation unique to their organizations.

• Fraud theory
• Fraud audit
• Fraud penetration risk assessment
