Admission to the program requires either an undergraduate degree in accounting or an undergraduate degree in finance with substantial relevant experience.
Forensic Accounting Career
In forensic accounting, financial detectives audit, investigate, and verify the accuracy of financial reporting documents, often in connection with pending or anticipated legal proceedings. The task of these investigators is to gather and assess questionable financial data for the purpose of detecting white-collar crime in both individuals and businesses. Accounting forensics can uncover criminal activity such as fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, the concealment of debt, the concealment of assets and even financial crimes. Other functions include economic damages calculations, whether suffered through tort or breach of contract; post-acquisition disputes such as earnouts or breaches of warranties; bankruptcy, insolvency, and reorganization; securities fraud; business valuation for companies being purchased; divorce; insurance recovery; and computer forensics/e-discovery.
