About this listen

This book provides a detailed, step-by-step account of how fraud can be committed in the construction industry, narrated through the experiences of Robert, a former project manager who orchestrated a sophisticated scheme to siphon funds using a fake vendor. Combining his personal story with actionable insights, Robert reveals the vulnerabilities that allow fraud to thrive, the devastating consequences of unethical behavior, and the strategies businesses can adopt to protect themselves.

A Unique Perspective

Written as both a cautionary tale and a how-to guide, the book offers an insider’s look at the methods fraudsters use to manipulate systems and evade detection. From setting up fake vendors and fabricating invoices to exploiting weak oversight and leveraging misplaced trust, Robert breaks down each step of his fraudulent operation in vivid detail. His account illustrates how small ethical compromises can snowball into large-scale deception and the immense personal and professional toll that follows.

  • The Mechanics of Fraud: A step-by-step guide to setting up a fake vendor, fabricating convincing documentation, and managing payments to avoid suspicion.

  • The Fallout: Understand the legal, financial, and emotional consequences of being caught, as illustrated through Robert’s downfall.

Fraud Prevention and Ethical Practices
