Fraud investigations are crucial in identifying and mitigating illegal activities within organizations.

Very good information, especially for someone new to fraud investigations. Dr. Minniti provides a lot of tools/information sources and examples/cautions from his own practice. P.S. It would've been nice to know there is no such thing as skipping an exam question and then coming back to it. Please warn people of that fact!
