In the world of forensic accountancy, detecting the signs of fraud is only the first of many steps. For any suspected financial crime to be dealt with, it must first be investigated efficiently, professionally and as extensively as necessary. Forensic accountants technically assume the role of accountant, investigator and prosecuting lawyer – all rolled into one. They identify cases of financial fraud, carry out in-depth investigations and summarily present evidence, as and when required. Success in the field is dependent on mastering every aspect of the detection and investigative process from start to finish. The better your understanding of the mechanics of forensic accountancy, the better your position to excel in the profession.
