From the Back Cover
“Peter Tickner is legendary among those whose job is to prevent and detect fraud for two main reasons. The first is that he has been brilliantly successful in difficult and sensitive roles, including his latest with the Metropolitan Police. The second is his unbounded enthusiasm, tenacity and courage, supported by a great sense of humour and clear communication. These qualities are so rare in our politically correct world of spin. I commend Peter’s book, as well as his lectures, to anyone who really wants to deal with fraud: rather than just pretend they do.”
Mike Comer, Director of Cobasco Group Ltd and author of Corporate Fraud
“Peter Tickner combines a vast experience of fraud investigation with an incisive and practical approach, laced with wit, which makes this book essential and indeed irresistible reading for anybody concerned with fraud investigation.”
“This book is highly relevant to practitioners because a serious message runs through it. Good fraud investigators and “frauditors” are good because they are experienced; their experience has taught them why they are investigating, what they are investigating, how to investigate, when to investigate and, crucially, what to do and what not to do when they are investigating. Peter Tickner’s enjoyable and entertaining book is packed with case studies, common sense and guidance that capture that message.”
Alan Doig, author of Fraud
