TALES
OF HOFFMANN 2
The
experiences of and International Business Investigator
By
G.H. Hoffmann, Sr.
It
is some years since our Consultant, G.H. Hoffmann, Sr., wrote Tales of
Hoffmann 1. In the meantime he has been asked many times to write a
sequel. Finally he has done so. The book was first published in Dutch
and an English translation is now available under the title Tales of
Hoffmann 2.
The
book consists of incidents from the author’s experiences, first as a
counter intelligence officer, then as a business investigator. It is an
easy and interesting read which
carries the reader along, but also shows how easily irregularities can
arise and what preventive measures can be taken.
The
book consists of a collection of 46
true stories written by one of the first professional
international business investigators in the Netherlands who has some 40
years experience of solving and preventing business crime. Stealing,
misleading, threatening and lying are often recurring themes. Whether it
is the director who cheats his fellow directors or shareholders, the
stores supervisor who lives beyond his means, the buyer who works on
‘commission’, the personnel manager who has his home rebuilt by the
company’s employees, or employees who for years have been helping
themselves, fraud is often staggering and sometimes extremely stupid.
The Dutch publisher described the book as an encouragement for all those
who, sometimes despite daily frustrations and temptations, private as
well as business, remain honest to make the world a better place.
