Forensic Accountants: Financial Investigators

Abstract

The public fraud scandals with companies like Enron and WorldCom, the Internet and other technological advances, and even the threat of terrorists have created a large demand for the skills and services provided by forensic accountants.  Forensic accountants are in high demand because they play a critical role in an investigation of suspected financial scandals and misappropriation of assets.  It is their job to bring independence and credibility to these investigations.
