FORENSIC AND FRAUD EXAMINATION TRACK
Forensic accounting is a specialized area of accountancy that encompasses a wide range of services. These services are commonly divided into two components: litigation services and investigation.
The forensic accountant may provide several services, including: -
fraud detection,
examination,
and deterrence
It is obvious that forensic accounting demands different skills from those employed by a traditional accountant. In addition to core accounting skills, forensic accountants must have knowledge of the judicial process (the legal environment) and the underlying concepts of evidence, discovery, and legally sufficient opinions.
