Forensic Accountants work in most major accounting firms and are needed for investigating mergers and acquisitions, and in tax investigations, economic crime investigations, all kinds of civil litigation support, specialized audits, and even in terrorist investigations.
Forensic Accounting is a growing field for a number of reasons. As the business environment becomes more complex and the number of business investigations increases, forensic accountants are playing a more important role in the investigation of various business and financial issues.
Forensic accountants deal with a variety of business and legal issues including: fraud investigation, dispute resolution, litigation support, and criminal investigations. Forensic accounting integrates a variety of skills including accounting, auditing and investigative skills. One of the main objectives for hiring a forensic accountant is to use the accountant's conclusions to facilitate a settlement, claim, or jury award or to proactively identify and prevent small problems from becoming large problems for a business.
