Summary:

"Investigator and Fraud Fighter Guidebook provides investigative insight and guidance on how to conduct thorough and complete investigations. The methods taught will allow investigators to solve more cases - even with fewer resources. The author teaches how investigators should perform as many as ten different types of investigations simultaneously: 1. Criminal , 2. Civil, 3. Administrative, 4. ID similar wrongful acts by same suspect, 5. ID other wrongful acts by same suspect, 6. ID others who have committed same wrongs as suspect, 7. Project others who might commit similar acts in future, 8. ID Waste/Abuse, 9. ID Systemic Weaknesses (Cause/Contributing Factors), 10. Consider improvements/corrections to be made (to ensure the wrong does not reoccur)"-- Provided by publisher.
