The Complete Guide to Spotting Accounting Fraud & Cover-Ups: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply
by
Martha Maeda

, March 22, 2010
Martha Maeda's comprehensive look into the criminal world of fraud outlines everything you need to know about fraud in her book, "The Complete Guide to Spotting Accounting Fraud and Cover-ups." Whether a small-business owner or a corporate CEO, this book will help any reader regardless of prior knowledge or experience with fraud learn how to spot and stop fraud in its tracks. Maeda's clear writing style and exhaustive research will allow anyone to grasp not only the various types of activity that constitutes fraud — everything from skimming, check tampering and embezzlement to corporate espionage — she also helps the reader get inside the head of a person committing the crime. For example, in her third chapter, "Who Commits Fraud?" Maeda doesn't just outline a general profile of someone who may commit fraud, she cites hard studies that are still widely used today in fraud investigations. Maeda recognizes that fraud does not just sprout out of simple greed, but can become a full-on addiction that prays on people with multi-layered problems. These problems, Maeda says, can be the result of personal failures that these people believe can be solved secretly and quietly by violating the trust of employers for personal gain. With Maeda's insight into the mind of a person who commits fraud, the reader is then guided through a series of strategies with how to deal with fraud, from detecting it to when to alert the authorities to launching an internal investigation within a business. The result is a book that is not only helpful but also a fascinating look into the psyche of white-collar criminals.

101 Ways to Score Higher on Your Series 7 Exam: What You Need to Know Explained Simply
by
Fleur Bradley

, March 22, 2010
Even the most panicked student preparing for the Series 7 exam will benefit from author Claire Bradley's "101 Ways to Score Higher on Your Series 7 Exam: What You Need to Know Explained Simply." Bradley, a former self-starting financial consultant who started her career as a teller, guides potential test-takers through the daunting 260-question exam with authority and attention to the reader's various needs. Bradley achieves this with a comforting tone throughout the book, stressing not only the knowledge needed to do well on the Series 7, but also reminding test-takers how to take care of themselves beyond the exam. While the chapters on areas of study — including securities, dealing with debt and individual customer issues — are key, Bradley also includes chapters on how to study for the Series 7 exam specifically and a final chapter on how to handle first career steps after passing the exam. The book also boasts a practice test and answer key with essential questions to end each chapter, which all help the reader measure his or her own progress as they study. Sure, the Series 7 could likely be the hardest test of a reader's career, but with Bradley and her book, the exam is bound to feel more like the first step toward a better career in the world of finance.

Whether you've never thought of planning your estate or have been putting it off, Linda Ashar and Sandy Baker's guide, "Planning Your Estate in Indiana" will help any Hoosier through the daunting process. As Ashar and Baker warn in their introduction, some 60 percent of people will die without an estate plan — leaving the state to take everything from the deceased's loved ones. To avoid becoming part of that statistic and protect family interests in the event of death, Ashar and Baker have developed a complete and easy-to-understand guide to estate planning. The guide not only spells out the steps of planning an estate, but also provides tips on how to spare your family from exorbitant taxes and calculating exactly how much your estate is worth. No one likes to think about the circumstances surrounding an estate plan. But with "Planning Your Estate in Indiana," you'll be prepared to protect what's yours before that day ever comes.
