COMPENDIUM OF WRITINGSINFORENSIC ACCOUNTING AND FRAUDEXAMINATION

Articles and papers in this book, Compendium of Writings in

Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination are independent

and complete researches in their rights. Putting them together is

as a result of requests of my students, friends and colleagues at

various times expressing their interest in having them in a single

book of this nature and my conviction that it would be yet

another way of improving the frontiers of knowledge in forensic

accounting and fraud examination.

Previously, efforts have been made to have them in an electronic

form on various academic and professional platforms such as

www.ssrn.org, www.academia.edu, www.researchgate.net,

www.slideshare.com and host of others.

This is an effort to document the author’s researches and past

professional presentations in the field of forensic accounting and

fraud examination as one of the leaders in the field. No

assumption is made in this book to suggest that readers have no

previous knowledge, but this book will help in no small measure

to confirm, modify and reassure the readers on the controversial

concepts in the field of study.

This book contains, articles, conference papers and academic

seminar papers prepared and delivered by the author within the

period of year 2012 and 2016. It is an-eleven article-based

compendium and it is organized in no particular order of

reading, the compendium has the following articles: the

Principles and Techniques of Forensic Accounting nd Fraud

Examination: Forensic Accounting Investigation Techniques:

Any Rationalization? Relevance of Tax Audit and Tax

Investigation in Nigeria; Imperatives of Tax Audit and

Investigation for Revenue Generation in Nigeria; Creative

Accounting as a Double-Sided Coin; Exploring the Media's Role

in Fighting Fraud and Corruption; Approach to Forensic

Accounting and Forensic Audit; Forensic Investigation and

Forensic Audit Methodology in a Computerized Work

Accounting and Investigation: A Means of Curbing Money

Laundering Activities; Managing the Risk of Fraud Investigation:

Differences.

Readers can pick any part of this book which is independent of

others and still loose nothing in terms of understanding and

contents. The book is written in a plain language, closely linked

and devoid of professional jargon. Though it may not necessarily

represent the opinion of others in the field, it is a product of

careful studies, researches and practices over time. It is,

therefore, a must read for all professionals in the field of

accounting, finance and forensics including fraud examination

while further criticisms are welcome for inclusion on the revised

edition.
