The author was convicted by the Government...........2005-02-03

Don't waste your money.

The author is a sham artist. He was convicted, and in a plea bargain handed over his entire client list to the US Governtment. None of the advice in this book is legal or legitimate.

Schneider has been indicted.......2003-05-29

In Dec. 2002, a San Francisco federal grand jury indicted Schneider (along with Eric Witmeyer) for conspiracy to defraud the US government. According to the indictment (which is on the web), undercover operatives of the IRS criminal investigations unit posed as US taxpayers interested in acquiring an offshore bank or corporation from Schneider and having it decontrolled by California attorney Witmeyer. Here "decontrol" means concealing the foreign business entity from the IRS. In short, the author has been indicted for conspiracy to commit tax fraud. Of course, the accused are innocent until proven guilty, but this indictment provides notice that the content of this book is suspect. Don't do the things they recommend, you could get into a pack of trouble. Evidently, the Schneider is in a pack of trouble. Transfers of funds to foreign accounts are especially dangerous with the recent passage of the patriot act. Some of the other advice in this book is downright silly. Assuming you're not a terrorist, why would anyone carry large sums of money while traveling when you can use an ATM card? This book is not only worthless, it's dangerous.

Be carefull what you wish for........2002-11-28

An excellent text but be warned, the sage advise in this book is so effective I am now homeless and penniless.
The authors should write volume II "How to find your hidden money"

Don't waste money on this stupid book.......2001-11-20

I bought this book seeking insight in asset protection; however, I leaned nothing useful from this book.

The book is full of "interesting" episodes sourrounding author's clients, with most cases involving cheating on their spouse without leaving behind a paper trail.

The entire book is a "soap opera" written by the co-author who would be a good candidate for writing "Cosmopolitan" artilces but not a serious book about personal finance.

If you want to know how to support your lover without your wife discovering, or if you are a high profile career woman who is about to be engaged with a macho truck driver, then you may find some information in this book interesting, just so you can feel consolation in knowing that you are not the only one who is facing this problem.

If you really want to "know about keeping your money and valuables safe from predators and greedy creditors", as stated in the book's subtitle, this book will disappoint you, and let me warn you that you don't even want to come close to this book.

"How to be invisible" by J.J. Luna was far more interesting and informative.

Insightful information.......2001-09-02

Excellent book if you need to know how to protect your identity, assets and any other valuable items that are in your possession. The book mentions that "almost everyone has something to conceal", and I am a firm believer in that. Whether you've got assets or just a hard working middle class person, we all have our identities.

The author also mentions how to legally move your assets and protect yourself from creditors or others who would want to know if you have anything of value to take. Timing is of utmost importance when performing such tasks. Moving your assets when there is a pending lawsuit, is fraud. But moving and planning well before any type of litigation is started, is perfectly legal and wise.

What I like about the book the best is that, the author doesn't hold any punches back. Although he mentions certain aspects of hiding is illegal, he still mentions tactics that you must do to keep it a secret. These tactics become invaluable, if you are on the other "side of the fence" looking for hidden assets! What I didn't really care for, is the amount of attention that the author gave to hiding money "around the house" if you may.

Although I believe this is just as important as using more sophisticated techniques, I felt they devoted a little too much time talking about hiding your money in shower post or under a rock.

Other than that, the book was really a good foundation on "hiding your money".

Book Description

INCREASE THE LIFE SPAN OF YOUR SMALL BUSINESS

The average small business has a life span of about five years, and inadequate internal controls are the main cause of failure. Cyber fraud, the leading culprit today in internal criminal activity, occurs when advanced technologies are used to steal money or property. The majority of such crimes occur in-house, and the lack of sufficient capital and technological resources committed to protecting company assets makes small businesses especially vulnerable. Awareness of the dangers of internal theft by computer, illegal access to information systems, credit card fraud, and Internet scams is integral-especially as auditors, business owners, and managers are increasingly held responsible for negligence.

Providing critical guidance on what auditors and businesses can do to better prevent and detect the growing number of occurrences of cyber fraud, the information in this one-of-a-kind manual:
* Protects outside auditors by supplying the knowledge to ensure they meet their responsibilities
* Protects small business owners by providing them with the necessary tools to meet due diligence requirements in cyber fraud prevention
* Focuses on the key areas of vulnerability

Take the first step in protecting your company-and your future-with Avoiding Cyber Fraud in Small Businesses, the only book committed to helping you keep your small business free of computer crime.

Preventative measures + Fraud Basics.......2002-10-28

This book is not as much about detecting fraud as it is about developing company-wide awareness and implementing detection measures. These are the keys to not only fraud prevention, but also security in general. My perspective is as an IT security professional, and I found this book to be thorough in that it covers all key items, and also to be applicable to any size business.

What I especially like about this book is its wide coverage that touches on each of the most important elements of awareness and prevention, including an objective assessment of cyber fraud as a threat, an approach to analyzing risks and vulnerabilities, and how to implement controls and policies. In addition to these basics, the book also goes into the technical aspects of security (written so that a non-IT professional can understand the fundamentals), and related topics, such as information protection, and legal issues associated with web site content. While the latter are not specific fraud vulnerabilities, they represent business risks that are loosely related to fraud.

Other material that I found useful and informative included the chapters on internal protection controls and conducting audits and investigations.

This book is a valuable resource for any IT security professional as well as corporate security, auditing and internal controls, and general business professionals (especially marketing). If you are new to fraud I also highly recommend "Fraud 101: Techniques and Strategies for Detection" by Howard R. Davia (ISBN 0471373095) which provides a solid foundation for understanding fraud management from a wider perspective, and "The Computer and Internet Fraud Manual" by Joseph T. Wells (ISBN 1889277363), which goes deeper into detection and response techniques.

Author Jeff Madura provides an excellent short guide through the perilous territory of financial statement analysis. Wasting no words, he presents all the average individual investor absolutely needs to know about corporate financial reports. He tells you why you shouldn't trust them, and then shows you how to apply a skeptic's perspective to figuring out what reported numbers really mean. The market for investment books is a crowded one, but this is a standout: a thoroughgoing and systematic combination of curiosity, knowledge and prudent suspicion. We highly recommend this book to all investors. Before you climb into the investors' ring, carefully consider the advice that referees give boxers before a bout: Protect yourself at all times.
