Forensic Accounting Classes/Degrees

Featured Accounting School:


Forensic accounting is one of the newest, fastest-growing accounting professions in the country. Following years of computer piracy, international terrorism, and white collar crime, law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local level are hiring or contracting for services from forensic accountants. To keep pace with the demand, colleges and business schools have created courses and degree programs to prepare accountants for the forensic workplace.

Most forensic accountants already hold professional accounting degrees, and other newcomers to the field are law enforcement professionals who return to college for classes in forensic accounting. Qualified graduates take jobs with financial institutions, insurance companies, corporations, police and law enforcement agencies, and courts at local, state, and federal levels.

Becoming an Accounting Data Sleuth
Forensic accountants combine traditional criminal investigation skills with auditing and technology talents. Your training classes may include components of criminal investigation procedures, techniques for investigating civil and personal injury litigation, medical malpractice, employee theft and fraud, mediation, negligence, and IT security.

It's commonplace today to find degree programs in forensic accounting. Historically, accountants were trained by their own employers to conduct internal audits. But the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires corporations to use skilled internal auditors to monitor for financial fraud or intellectual property theft. That means jobs for forensic accountants!

Forensic accounting classes typically cover computer data analysis and digital evidence, fraud detection and prevention, court presentation techniques, criminal behavior and citizens' rights. As a forensic accountant, it may be your deduction and reasoning skills that save the day for your employers and private consulting clients.
