Читать книгу Profiling The Fraudster - Padgett Simon - Страница 6

Completion of this book would not have been possible without the support of many people. First, many thanks to colleagues at my current place of work who have given me the support and assistance required to enable me to carry out this research and writing and to the many colleagues and professional services firms with whom I have had the pleasure to interact throughout my career and who have provided insight, inspiration, and material. Thanks to my parents who inspired me with their endurance to my never-ending skepticism of anything put to me and to Oxford Brookes University and my MBA supervisors for their assistance and the availability of excellent resources in terms of the written and spoken word. I also wish to thank my fellow board members of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), UAE chapter, for their encouragement and support and the many ACFE members as well as the ACFE in general who have allowed me to use some of their valuable information to add structure and substance to the profiling theory. I would also like to thank John Wiley & Sons and in particular Stacey Rivera, senior development editor, for their guidance and advice throughout the drafting, submission, and publishing of this book. Perhaps the biggest thanks, however, should go to the many fraudsters whom I have had the pleasure of investigating and interacting with, for supplying me with the reasons for writing this work. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family, who provided unwavering support, encouragement, patience, and silence throughout the gestation period and writing and production life cycle of the development of this book.
