The Financial Numbers Game: Detecting Creative Accounting Practices | First Edition Edition

Details about The Financial Numbers Game: Detecting Creative Accounting Practices:

To build up their firm's or company's share prices when preliminary estimates indicate that actual earnings will fall short of expectations, some management groups use fraudulent accounting tactics to alter report profits. Early detection of misleading results can lead to more timely corrective action and a better opportunity to avoid potential damage to the company. The Financial Numbers Game, now in a new lower-priced paperback version,  shows students how to detect misleading results and prevent fraudulent reporting. Included are examples of fraud detection techniques, tips, and checklists. This book is a great addition to any Advanced Accounting course.
