**From Cash Suppression to Outright Theft: The Making of A Fraudster**
**A Comprehensive Professional Guide – Cambridge-Aligned Expanded & Updated Global Edition**
In today’s volatile financial landscape, most occupational fraud begins not with dramatic theft, but with small, undetected acts of cash suppression—skimming receipts, under-depositing, or concealing minor shortages. This definitive, globally recognized e-book provides a rigorous, evidence-based roadmap that traces the predictable journey of **the making of a fraudster**, from initial rationalization to large-scale embezzlement, wire fraud, and outright asset misappropriation.
Fully aligned with Cambridge University Press standards of scholarly depth and the COSO Fraud Risk Management Guide (2023 Update), it integrates the five COSO principles with the latest ACFE *Report to the Nations* (2024) data. Readers master the Fraud Triangle/Pentagon, progression timelines, advanced risk assessment, preventive/detective controls, and data-analytics techniques designed to interrupt fraud at its earliest stage.
The expanded edition features in-depth, real-world case studies from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Dubai (UAE), Germany, and Singapore—illustrating jurisdiction-specific escalation pathways such as teller-level suppression in African banks, SWIFT bypasses in India, and executive accounting manipulation in Europe and the Middle East.
Complete with red-flag matrices, control matrices, implementation roadmaps, KPI dashboards, discussion questions, and ready-to-use templates, this standalone professional resource is indispensable for CFOs, treasury directors, internal auditors, risk officers, compliance professionals, and board members worldwide.
**Interrupt the journey. Protect assets. Master the fraudster’s playbook.**
