You face an overtly confident subject of a fraud investigation
across the interview table and you think to yourself: Why is he so
confident? Is it that obvious that I don't know how to prove his
guilt? There is no space left on your CV for another academic
qualification and you've been doing this for a while now - why then
do you feel so ill-prepared? You start to wish that you had the
effortless guidance of your retired colleague. If he was here now,
what gems of experience and tricks of the trade would he give you?
Practical Insights for Fraud Professionals aims to do exactly that.
It reads like on-the-job training and provides sound practical
guidelines on how to conduct all elements associated with fraud
investigation. Both new and seasoned fraud investigators will find
value in these applied techniques.
Technical Writing equips students with the tools and knowledge
required to write clear, concise, and well-organized technical
documents. This comprehensive guide encourages students to
carefully consider word choice, sentence construction, document
organization and formatting, the use of visual queuing, and more to
create easy-to-read, high-impact technical documents. The text
begins by outlining the major differences between academic papers
and technical documents, and discussing critical elements to
consider when writing technical documents including audience, the
goal of the document, readers' expectations, organization, and
more. Later chapters address technical writing style, the
importance of design, the basics of cognitive theory, and various
types of communication documents. Students learn how to tailor
writing for the technology industry, successfully incorporate
research into technical documents, and create technical reports.
The book concludes by walking students through setting up a
professional portfolio of their work, addressing portfolio
organization, topical strategy, strategic layout, and potential
legal issues. Technical Writing is an accessible and comprehensive
guide designed to help students write technical documents
confidently and efficiently. The text is well suited for
undergraduate courses in technical writing, communications,
computer science, and engineering.
Law is a varied, powerful, and highly rewarding profession. Studies
show, however, that lawyers have higher rates of alcoholism,
divorce, and even suicide than the general population. Stress
creates these poor outcomes, including the stress of dealing with
other people's problems all day, the stress of spending excessive
amounts of time at work, and the stress of being disconnected to
what is most meaningful in life. Through mindfulness and emotional
intelligence training, lawyers can improve focus, get more work
done in less time, improve their interpersonal skills, and seek and
find work that will make their lives more meaningful. This book is
designed to help law students and lawyers of all experience levels
find a sustainable and meaningful life in the field of law. This
book includes journaling and other interactive exercises that can
help lawyers find peace, focus, meaning, and happiness over a
lifetime of practicing law.
