本書特色
本書希望提供國內大學部財務相關科系的學生,一個兼顧理論與實務操作的計量學習教材。

本書在內容深淺的取材上,銜接商學院必修的基礎統計課程,並由傳統的計量經濟學教科書中,萃取出適用財務實證的基礎知識,再補上更多財務理論之實證應用。最後採用線性迴歸方法為起點,以適合大學部程度的財務實證主題為主軸,並聚焦於財務理論核心的報酬與風險之量測,做為本書的涵蓋範圍。

本書特別注重的是財務計量模型之操作驗證性,希望學生可以透過書中的範例,以較容易取得類似的財務統計資料,進行模型估計學習試驗、或產生實際的應用。

本書所使用的,是一款國內比較陌生的統計軟體,gretl。其特色為:
gretl 的計量功能完整,除了本書介紹的迴歸模型外,在時間序列方法方面,內建有自我迴歸移動平均(ARIMA)、一般化自我相關條件異質變異 (ARCH/GARCH)、向量自我迴歸 (Vector Autoregression)、向量誤差修正模型 (VECM)、Engle-Granger共整合檢定、Johansen 共整合檢定等功能。
gretl 軟體有繁體中文介面,操作十分方便、直覺,學生不需要一開始就要學寫程式或記憶英文指令,學習進入門檻較低。
gretl 是「完全免費」的「開放源碼自由軟體」(open-source free software),可以自由下載使用與分享此軟體,所以在教學上或使用上,都十分方便。

Joseph T. Wells (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners)

Description
Accountants have historically had an important role in the detection and deterrence of fraud, however, as Joe Wells’ Principles of Fraud Examination 3e illustrates, fraud is much more than numbers. In short, books and records don’t commit fraud – people do. Fraud involves complex human behaviors such as greed and deception, factors that are difficult to identify and quantify. Widely embraced by fraud examination instructors across the country in its second edition, Principles of Fraud Examination 3e was written to provide a broad understanding of fraud – because understanding how fraud is committed is paramount to preventing and detecting it. The text begins by providing an understanding of fraud examination methodology, then presenting the schemes used by executives, managers and employees to commit fraud against their organisations.
