- Mindsets that keep people from detecting fraud
- A five-step approach to fraud detection
- Recognize What Can Go Wrong in Capital Projects:
- How to detect fraud within each of the seven major project phases
- Sound methods for auditing & monitoring large contracts and major vendors
- Apply Data Analysis Techniques to Case Studies:
- Building logical extractions to target symptoms of problems; identifying curious patterns; practical analyses for detecting violations of statistical laws
- Major project fraud cases worth knowing, how to analyze them, and how to build an effective ‘pre-mortem’ testing plan to avoid the same problems
