Forensic accounting encompasses fraud investigation and prevention, as well as a wide variety of functions in litigation. Forensic accountants provide services ranging from serving as an expert witness, to litigation consultant and bankruptcy trustee. As our economy grows more complex, the need for forensic accountants grows as well. One critical role of the forensic accountant is exposing and examining financial fraud. Technology expands the way companies conduct business; however, technology also provides greater opportunities for those willing to commit fraud. Forensic accountants rely on their skills in accounting, coupled with their investigative skills, to explain to clients, courts, and jurors how fraudulent schemes occur and the effect caused by fraud. Forensic accountants also provide expert opinions in calculating damages in litigation and administering bankruptcy estates, as well as a host of other services.Objectives:Understand the various roles and requirements of forensic accountantsRecognize the skills that forensic accountants use in fraud investigation, in bankruptcy proceedings, and in litigation support rolesUnderstand the formal training and certifications available in forensic accountingPresenters:Jason Cornell, Esq.Field of Study:Accounting (4)Major Topics:Review of the different aspects of forensic accountingThe civil litigation process as it relates to forensic accountingLitigation services provided by forensic accountantsFraud detection and preventionVarious types of fraudTraining and certifications in forensic accountingForensic accounting in bankruptcy proceedingsForensic accounting in family law proceedingsCalculating damages for use in litigationValuationsEthical issues pertinent to forensic accountingLocation:
