      abstract = {Huge headlines across Africa have lamented the  debilitating effects of corruption and fraud on the African  economies and development. But is Africa ready for this  fight? Do the anti-fraud practitioners possess strategies  to equip Africa for this fight? This book highlights some  of the major challenges facing African developing and post  conflict countries with regard to, among others: (1)  policy, political will, and legal framework in the  prevention and deterrence of fraud and corruption; (2)  strategies, coordination of institutional frameworks and  institutions; lack of human and infrastructural resources  as well as the time- and energy-intensive nature required  for fraud detection, investigation, and resolution. The  leadership and citizens of these countries are aware of the  effects of fraud and corruption but lack the strategies and  sometimes the resources to prevent, deter, detect,  investigate, or resolve fraud and corruption incidences.  This is compounded by huge deficits in compliance as laws  are either ignored or deliberately contravened; regulations  and ethical practices are circumvented. The book makes  comments on some initiatives that have been tried at  different levels of governance to stimulate debate in  search of effective approaches to equip Africa fight fraud  and corruption.},
