Called to Account

“I highly recommend this book as an additional text to any undergraduate or graduate auditing course. In addition to gaining an understanding of these specific cases, students develop a much deeper appreciation for the evolution of accounting and auditing standards and for the many factors influencing that evolution.” Gary J. Witosky, CPA, Professor Emeritus, Thiel College, Greenville, PA, U.S.A. “Called to Account continues its legacy of great storytelling about the most impactful accounting frauds in history, with new chapters on Wirecard and Carillion. I love the short stories that bring to life the characters and frauds that have shaped our profession.” Brian Mayhew, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Program, Arthur Andersen Alumni, Professor, University of Wisconsin–Madison, WI, U.S.A. “Paul Clikeman and Jamie Diaz are wonderful storytellers who bring the characters in these fraud cases to life and describe the cycles of fraud and reform that have driven the development of accounting. My students and I love this book!” Dana R. Hermanson, Dinos Eminent Scholar Chair, Kennesaw State University, GA, U.S.A. “Called to Account provides an outstanding, historical perspective on how financial frauds have shaped the U.S. accounting profession. The individual case studies covering most of the largest frauds in recent history are both informative and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this excellent book.” Dennis Beresford, Executive in Residence, University of Georgia, and Former Chairman of FASB, U.S.A.
