Un libro con una cantidad importante de información técnica, presentado de manera digerible y en un formato agradable. Me gusta la forma en que el autor abunda cada uno de los temas, dado teoría, exponiendo diversos ejemplos y cerrando con una recapitulación. Buena lectura si el tema es de tu interés.

Lots of case studies, and full of practical advice. The checklists at the end of each chapter are a great help (and summary of the chapter). The inclusion of Lester Pratt's "Embezzlement Controls for Business Enterprises" is the icing on the well-listed cake.
