Forensic Accounting

Abstract

Forensic Accounting is a field that utilizes the knowledge of accounting, auditing and investigative skills. Forensic Accounting is used for the purpose of examination of fraud by an individual, company or an Organization. The results given by a Forensic Accountant can be used in the Court of Law.

A Forensic Accountant must understand, summarize and perform analysis on complex matters of finance or business and he/she must possess thorough theoretical knowledge as well as technical skills, so as to tackle complex data and interpret it appropriately.

If a Forensic Accountant feels that a particular audit report is not accurate, then they can use their computer expertise and research skills to review that data.
