Part I
Investigating Forensic Accounting
In this part . . .
We start at the very beginning, by explaining what forensic accountants do, how their work differs from the work done by other accountants and auditors, and how you can steer your career toward forensic accounting by taking the right courses and looking for the right types of jobs.
We then get deeper into the discussion of why forensic accountants are necessary (and becoming more in demand every day). The reason for this is because lots and lots of people commit fraud. We devote a whole chapter to outlining the most common types of fraud, focusing largely on those committed within businesses. Forensic accountants don’t always deal with fraud, however, so we also offer a chapter explaining other types of work you may do as a forensic accountant.
