What a Forensic Accountant does (A complete guide to forensic accounting)

[@AnaMaria23_]

I started off my career as an Auditor and I’m really interested being Forensic Accountant. Uncovering fraud for me is one of the best achievements when auditing. Thanks for this video. 🙏🙌 Keep it up.

[@pyromunkey1666]

Cool video, thanks! I've been pondering over what accounting specialization I'd like to pursue and forensic sounds very intriguing

[@UncoverFraud]

Glad it was helpful!

I was always interested in money laundering as a kid, and I heavily considered getting into it, but recently I found out there’s jobs to combat money laundering, and it’s super interesting. I’m in school for my finance degree and now I’m considering in switching over to my forensic accounting degree

[@UncoverFraud]

I am open to mentoring.

[@lnsane999]

@@UncoverFraudHi, I know it’s a year later, but I am really interested in becoming a forensic accountant but have no idea how to get into it. I am 17, and will graduate in December of this year.

[@samt7676]

⁠@@lnsane999Hey man! I hope I can answer your question. I would focus on getting your accounting degree (get internships during your summer break) and your CPA after. You should just focus on trying to understand accounting. If you get afford it, even go for your masters. Some firms prefer a masters and some colleges even offer forensic based programs. Then, I would look at taking the CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) exam. With that, it’ll prepare you to find a job in that field and from there you can try and gain as much experience as possible. Hope that helps.

I am getting my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting now. This is interesting to me.

I came across this topic of FORENSIC AUDITING and boom! i knew that this is where my heart lay. Unfortunately i have not come across any instituition of higher learning in Kenya that offers the course. i felt desperate and low. But i will have to major in Auditing.

[@sholjas13]

I think forensic accounting seems fascinating. I adopted a fascination of forensics after learning of the resolution of a Canadian case associated with this Human Trafficking pyramid. The last girl who escaped a couple of kidnappers was part of a family who were originally Human Trafficked of circa 1971, exactly the same as my family 2 years after. Thanks to forensics, the location she had been kept in was revealed as the murder scene of every other child who had been there years & years & years earlier. All murdered terribly, with violent blood stains up the walls & years of redecorating over the protein that eventually revealed the truth. The use of bombs strapped to children as coercive attempts has been known to dissuade people from wanting involvement of the resolution, yet when statutory remit says that resolution is via particularly sources, the absence or reluctance of those Departments in resolution suggests Corruption, thus entitling me & others striving in similar reasoning, with resolution of the pyramid crimes as the purpose, to garner the involvement of Departments & personnel from other sources beyond the remit of suspicion of Corruption. Thanks to electronic listening & global rfid transmitter & receptor device to device smart networking, especially fibre optics, the garner of evidence & the opportunity that offers rsvp vip invitees into the listening channels, is now much easier. England almost certainly does have forensic Departments involved with Anti-Fraud, yet most have got the equivalent of Strategic partnerships with police & detectives who are part of the original employment mechanism infrastructure who were culpable of the 1970s Human Trafficking, thus may opt to try making deals or just being less professional than is desirable. I used to work in a licensed betting shop as Branch Management as part of the Racing & Sport industry. Security & Accounts Departments described my work as exemplary, when less than a penny differential on a daily weekly & monthly accountancy balance was the equivalent of the entire sheet being wrong. Where I live is subjected to multiple virtual networks and silent (though they're not quiet) neural networks that I do understand as similar to fibre optic global grids (I used to have a fibre optic lamp that taught me more than enough). With neural transmission via smart device, the garner of truth is much easier, yet forensically, I'm sure it just starts the tracing at the other end of the equation, tracking back from the confession to the start, verifying each step of the route. I'm sure many may be curious why, when the truth is that easy, yet the learning from & the analysis, and helping shape future efforts of prevention & resolution are also fascinating.

When businesses can pre approve purchases and only those purchases are to be made: or to bear consequences?
