Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Author has over 40 years of experience in the construction field exposed to Contractors, Consultants, Clients and teaching environments. His special interest is Construction Auditing and he has done various researches, submitted articles to construction magazines and presented research papers at international conferences. His personal opinion is that the Construction Cost professional Institutions and the Professionals at large have completely ignored the field of construction auditing for a long time. The governments’ construction expenditure, which now involve a significant portion of the budget of many countries mandated to be audited as check & balance. This government construction auditing exercise is still carried out by Financial Institutions under the name of Performance Auditing. The lack of interest by the Cost Construction professional Institutions resulted in the continuation of Performance Auditing by Financial Accountants. Construction at present is huge, complicated, involving different entities with various Contractual arrangements. The Financial Accountants do not have the sufficient skill to audit construction in the present environment and the results are plain to see. The loss owing to Frauds in government double (internal & external) audited construction has reached upwards of US $ 4 Trillion per year according to Transparency International. That is US $ 1.50 per head per day of the entire world population. This is an affront to the 21 century as more than a Billion people live below US $ 1.25 per day. The immediate requirement is a Post- Graduate course on Construction Auditing, Construction Auditing standards and a union for such auditors. The author hopes that this book will serve some purpose in that long exercise. The book can also be helpful to practicing construction professionals and students following construction related courses. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much debate about the auditor's role in fraud detection. Since auditors lack sufficient skill and experience to have a reasonable chance of detecting fraud, it is argued they should look to other disciplines for useful knowledge. This book draws on criminology, psychology and sociology to put forward a model of fraud aetiology which was tested in a study of major fraud offenders. Attention then focuses on a survey of auditor's experience in detecting material irregularities in the financial statements which tested the usefulness of an eclectic fraud detection model that includes the fraud aetiology model as one of its components.
