Forensic and Investigative Accounting

Some very good and interesting information, but this is a rather undistinguished textbook with many grammatical errors and typos. Written in a very casual manner, it is also very incomplete and occasionally sexist. Chapters are often unnecessarily very long. No boldface terminology and the table of contents is quite bad. Pages are numbered by paragraph (example: Chapter 10, page 28 has '10-28' at the top corner of the page, and on the bottom it has "P10,211" where P is the 'paragraph' symbol). Basically, it's a lot of information taken from other sources and kind of loosely pieced together.There are not many textbooks out there about forensic accounting, so I can't compare this one to any others. I'll have to look into that. But I am not enthusiastic about this textbook. Having studied a lot of 'pure accounting' courses, I was expecting this book to be a bit more computational. Instead, it's like a thicker version of the text used for my Accounting Ethics course, and the material covered is broader.

This text is mandatory for a course I am currently enrolled in. While it may be well written and puts the topic in comfortable layman's terms, I cannot believe that I paid almost $200 for a text that when downloaded lost all graphics and formatting. How do I get this addressed? I may have to return the book, because a key component of learning is to visualize concepts in the form of graphs, charts etc. For that reason alone, I have to assign a low grade to the book.

There is no table of content so you have to page through each page to get the chapter you want. Diagrams are not there. It will say fig. # the chart or drawing will not be there just the text and it is not lined up in any way that you can make sense out of it. I am very disappointed in this digital edition. It cost the same as the hardcover book and it is not very well formatted.

This book was mandatory for my UCLA Forensic Accounting course. Amazon was the only place who was not sold out. It is a pricey book...however, I thought this book was very well laid out. It was concise and Crumbley has gone above and beyond to drive the details of the Forensic Accounting field. This book and the course has made me decide to get my CFE Certification before going after my CPA

The content of the book is great. However on the ebook when using for class many of the graphs and tables were unreadable and I have yet to see an update for it.

the book was good with no markings at all, received in excellent condition. reliable renter. the content of the good was good and understandable but our professor uses practicals to teach the class so we didnt really use it except for chapter 17. Font is big and readable.

The CCh studymate code does not work even though i purchased a new book the chapters information are off from what i expected.

I purchase this book for a program I am currently studying for and this book was delivered on time.

After having read the first five chapters, it seems like a comprehensive textbook on forensic accounting. However, I find it too repetitive. The same concepts are repeated in different chapters.
