Detect fraud faster--no matter how well hidden--with
IDEA automation

Fraud and Fraud Detection takes an advanced approach to
fraud management, providing step-by-step guidance on automating
detection and forensics using CaseWare's IDEA software. The book

learn to use complex data analysis techniques, including automation
scripts, allowing easier and more sensitive detection of anomalies
that require further review. The companion website provides access

Business systems' electronic databases have grown tremendously
with the rise of big data, and will continue to increase at
significant rates. Fraudulent transactions are easily hidden in
these enormous datasets, but Fraud and Fraud Detection helps
readers gain the data analytics skills that can bring these
anomalies to light. Step-by-step instruction and practical advice

investigation process. Readers will learn to:

* Understand the different areas of fraud and their specific
detection methods

* Identify anomalies and risk areas using computerized
techniques

* Develop a step-by-step plan for detecting fraud through data
analytics

* Utilize IDEA software to automate detection and identification
procedures

The delineation of detection techniques for each type of fraud
makes this book a must-have for students and new fraud prevention
professionals, and the step-by-step guidance to automation and
complex analytics will prove useful for even experienced examiners.
With datasets growing exponentially, increasing both the speed and
sensitivity of detection helps fraud professionals stay ahead of
the game. Fraud and Fraud Detection is a guide to more
efficient, more effective fraud identification.
