Peter Goldmann provides a practical guide to detecting and preventing external and internal fraud within the accounts payable process. The author nicely grounds the reader with a narrative of the history of fraud along with an explanation of the classic fraud triangle. He clearly identifies the variations of fraud and provides excellent case studies that guide the reader through the world of the accounts payable fraudster.  The "red flags of fraud" and  the "nitty gritty"  audit suggestions are excellent implementable tools. Detecting and Preventing Fraud in Accounts Payable is clearly the book that every accounts payable professional, shared service professional,  controller,  internal auditor, and CFE should purchase, read, use, and read again.  Goldmann's significant experience in the field is evidenced in this excellent book. It is a must-have for any AP professional!
