The course is to provide a high level overview and introduction into the world of the forensic auditor or accountant. Most auditors and accountants have an understanding of the concept of fraud and how it impacts companies but many individuals do not have a full comprehension of the variance in the work performed by a forensic auditor or accountant versus a typical management accountant. This course It's meant for those individuals interested in understanding the variances in the job tasks and responsibilities of forensic accountants versus typical financial or management accountants.
Forensic accountants or auditors take a unique focus on performing their work. Typically, when a person with forensic experience is called in to examine financial records, it is due to suspicion of fraud, evaluation of assets, or even to track down fundamentally incorrect accounting - intentional or not.
As fraud continues to raise its head in business processes, forensic auditors and accountants are discovering new and unique ways to identify, examine, and support their hypotheses and investigative techniques. The work performed by a forensic specialist can be interesting and full of potential potholes if evidence isn't examined according to proper protocols and standards.
In this course, we examine the many processes and roles of the forensic accountant. We discuss rules of evidence and the accountant's potential need to testify in a court of law. Learners will come away with an understanding of the world of forensic accounting and the many ways in which it may differ from the typical accountant's role.
