Jack C. Robertson, PhD, CPA, CFE is the C.T. Zlatkovich Centennial Professor of Accounting at The University of Texas at Austin. He has worked in industry, international accounting firms, local accounting firms, and government--as Academic Fellow in the Office of the SEC Chief Accountant. He was a member of the first board of regents of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and he contributed to the first and second editions of the Fraud Examiner's Manual. Robertson's thesis is that auditors can conduct audit assignments with fraud awareness. He has developed this train of thought in his general purpose auditing textbook (Auditing, Irwin/McGraw-Hill Company). Fraud awareness auditing attitudes place auditors in a role within the broad context of fraud examination for managers and auditors.

"Managers and auditors need to know about fraud schemes and about methods for detecting and preventing them."

"A fraud examination course is a vital part of a progressive professional accounting program."

"A great many employment opportunities are available for people who know about fraud examination."
