Foreword by James D. Ratley, CFE, President and CEO, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Beyond the basics—tools for applied fraud management In Exposing Fraud: Skills, Process, and Practicalities , anti-fraud expert Ian Ross provides both ideas and practical guidelines for applying sound techniques for fraud investigation and detection and related project management. The investigative principles in this book are truly universal and can be applied anywhere in the world to deal with any of the range of fraud types prevalent in today's business environments. Topics covered include cyber fraud, the psychology of fraud, data analysis techniques, and the role of corporate and international culture in criminal behavior, among many others. Ensure an optimal outcome to fraud investigations by mastering real-world skills, from interviewing and handling evidence to conducting criminal proceedings. As technologies and fraud techniques become more complex, fraud investigation must increase in complexity as well. However, this does not mean that time-tested strategies for detecting



criminals have become obsolete. Instead, it means that a hands-on approach to fraud detection and management is needed more than ever. The book does just that: Takes a unique practical approach to the business of detecting, understanding, and dealing with fraud of all types Aids in the development of key skills, including conducting investigations and managing fraud risk Covers issues related to ethically and efficiently handling impulsive and systemic fraud, plus investigating criminals who may be running multiple scams Addresses fraud from a global perspective, considering cultural and psychological factors that influence fraudsters Unlike other fraud investigation books on the market, Exposing Fraud develops the ethical and legal foundation required to apply theory and advice in real-world settings. From the simple to the complex, this book demonstrates the most effective application of anti-fraud techniques.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Goldbüste des Kaisers Septimius Severus (193-211 n. Chr.) wurde im Jahr 1965 in Didymoteicho, dem antiken Plotinopolis (Nordgriechenland) gefunden. Dieser überaus seltene Fund hochstehender Goldschmiedearbeit liegt erstmals ausführlich untersucht und bebildert vor. Es handelt sich um die eine von nur zwei erhaltenen größeren Goldbüsten römischer Kaiser; das zweite, leicht



unterlebensgroße Exemplar ist die Büste von Marc Aurel aus Avenches (Schweiz). Die 28 cm hohe Goldbüste des Septimius Severus wiegt knapp drei römische Pfund (980 g) und entspricht somit einem vielfach für solche Objekte verwendeten Gewichtsmodul. Goldporträts waren dem Kaiser vorbehalten. Als portable Bildnisse konnten sie den Kaiser bei offiziellen Handlungen wie am Gericht vertreten, sie dienten aber auch im Kaiserkult sowie in der römischen Armee, wo sie an der Spitze von Standarten mitgetragen wurden.
