New App Released to Help Discover
Potential Problems (Maybe Even Fraud) in Your QuickBooks Data

A terrific new app called AuditMyBooks has recently been released to help small businesses:
  • Review their QuickBooks data to isolate errors and problems  that need attention
  • Draw attention to transactions that may be suspect or possibly even fraudulent.
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners in their 2010 report, the average loss to small business due to "occupational fraud" is nearly $160,000.

AuditMyBooks was built by a team of small business experts with years of experience as Certified Fraud Examiners, CFOs, CPAs, and QuickBooks ProAdvisors.

It provides both a high level dashboard of the issues and potential risks in your QuickBooks file as well as a detailed threat analysis and supporting information.
