Description:
Praise for the Fourth Edition of Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting
"Tommie and Aaron Singleton have made important updates to a book I personally rely very heavily upon:
Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting (FAFA). In the newest edition, they take difficult topics and explain
them in straightforward actionable language. All my students benefitted from reading the third edition of
the FAFA to better understand the issues and area of fraud and forensic accounting. With their singular
focus on understandability and practicality, this Fourth Edition of the book makes a very important
contribution for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students. Bravo!" Dr. Timothy A. Pearson,
Director, Division of Accounting, West Virginia University, Executive Director, Institute for Fraud Prevention
"Finally someone has written a book that combines fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors
have clearly explained both in their earlier edition and now they have enhanced the first with additional
materials. The order in which the material is presented is easy to grasp and logically follows the 'typical'
fraud examination from the awareness that something is wrong to the court case. The explanatory materials
presented aid this effort by being both well placed within the book and relevant to the narrative." Dr.
Douglas E. Ziegenfuss, Chair and Professor, Department of Accounting, Old Dominion University
"Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting is a masterful compilation of the concepts found in this field. The
organization of the text with the incorporation of actual cases, facts, and figures provides a logical and
comprehensive basis for learning the intricacies of fraud examination and forensic accounting. The authors
successfully blend the necessary basics with advanced principles in a manner that makes the book an
outstanding resource for students and professionals alike." Ralph Q. Summerford, President of
Forensic/Strategic Solutions, PC
