"Exciting and gripping true stories of one of the first professional business investigators. Stealing, misleading, threatening and lying are the often recurring themes. Whether it is the Director who cheats his co-directors or shareholders, the Stores Supervisor who is a big spender, the Buyer who works on 'commissions' or the Personnel Manager who has his house rebuilt by company staff, fraud is often staggeringly easy and sometimes extremely stupid. The collection is not only entertaining and exciting but also shows how easy irregularities can arise and what preventive measures can be taken. But the book is also an encouragement for all those who, sometimes despite daily frustrations and temptations, private as well as professional, stay honest to make the world a better place."
