"I have been fortunate enough to learn from Dave′s work over the last fifteen years, and this publication is no exception. Using his twenty–plus years of experience, Dave walks through every aspect of detecting fraud with a computer from the genesis of the act to the mining of data for its traces and its ultimate detection. A complete text that first explains how one prevents and detects fraud regardless of technology and then shows how by automating such procedures, the examiners′ powers become superhuman."
