Course Overview

Are you prepared for the increasing demand for forensic accountants and forensic accounting procedures to detect and prevent misappropriation of assets, management fraud, and fraudulent financial reporting? Forensic accounting is not a complicated concept; it is essentially litigation support involving accounting. The application of forensic accounting techniques is also fairly straightforward. Forensic accountants apply their skills to legal cases to answer questions regarding damages, generally with an economic bearing, or where there is a concern expressed by a company potentially experiencing fraud or suffering from deficient internal controls. 

Forensic accounting skills are also useful in assisting the audit team with fraud-risk assessments, where it is vital to know how to ask probative questions in a non-threatening manner. As the focus on fraud discovery and deterrence rises, accountants must hone their skills to recognize fraudulent or deceptive practices and build their knowledge to redesign internal controls. 

Highlights of the webinar: 

  • History of the forensic accounting profession in the United States. 
  • Various professional associations and certifications in the forensic accounting field.
  • Career opportunities in the forensic accounting field
  • Skills and knowledge necessary to be a successful forensic accountant.

This course is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic introduction to forensic accounting.

Bwizu Siamachila, CFE

The material was quite useful. The quiz has lots of bearing on US specific matters, e.g., consent rules regarding recording conversations. Many times this is a trend. It forces non-US based learners or practitioner to master content that is irrelevant. The webinars can take the current form but the quizzes should take neutral form on “indigenous” matters. Perhaps, international version of the quiz would be adopted for non-US citizen.
