"What's New in the Third Edition, We are excited to present the Third edition for Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination and appreciate the hard work of our associates at Wiley who helped make this possible. What is most exciting are the changes we've incorporated. Each chapter was carefully edited and rewritten to incorporate the most recent best practices from the practitioner community. We've updated all the research based on the ACFE's 2022 Report to the Nations. We included extensive examples in each chapter to connect the theory to real-world FAFE tools and techniques.
