Forensic Accountant List

Forensic accounting, forensic accountancy or financial forensics is the specialty practice area of accounting that investigates whether firms engage in financial reporting misconduct, or financial misconduct within the workplace by employees, officers or directors of the organization. Forensic accountants apply a range of skills and methods to determine whether there has been financial misconduct by the firm or its employees. The use of digital forensics and data analytics has become a significant part of forensic accounting. Modern practitioners employ machine learning, transaction-pattern analysis, and metadata tracing to identify financial anomalies and reconstruct digital evidence. These tools enhance the detection of fraud, money laundering, and cyber-enabled crimes that traditional auditing methods may overlook.
