The Expert Podcast

A lot of you write in asking about where you can get information on fraud and investigations if you want to do some of this work yourself. I recommend an excellent book to you; it's called Anatomy of a Fraud, and it's written by a very highly experienced and qualified fraud examiner named Steven Penno. Stephen and I have been colleagues in the past. He is a very experienced and highly skilled fraud investigator who only works on certain kinds of cases in Connecticut, and his practice is top-notch.

He has a very sophisticated evidence intake procedure with UV lighting and secured areas, along with different types of evidence tagging. His skills and procedures are top-notch. This book that he's written, while it's about 15 or 16 years old now, is the go-to guide for fraud investigation.

So if you want to know more about investigation work, what the procedures are, even if you're not doing it yourself, it'll give you insight into how they're done by an investigator. Many of these techniques are trained to law enforcement. I know that Stephen has done some training through the ACFE to government agencies about how to do fraud investigation, so these techniques are some of the most effective in the industry.

If you want to learn more about it, I highly recommend this book. You can look it up on Amazon yourself; I'm not going to put a link to where I make any kind of commission. It's more about having the details of the case be known to a client so you're aware of how an investigation gets done, how an investigator performs an investigation, and most importantly, how they deal with all the evidence.
