FORENSIC ACCOUNTING AND FRAUD DETECTION
Forensic accounting also known as financial forensics is a specialty practice area of accounting that describes engagements that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation. As per the Oxford dictionary reveals, forensic accounting means the use of accounting skills to investigate fraud or embezzlement and to analyse financial information for use in legal proceedings. Forensic accountants are also referred to as forensic auditors or investigative auditors, often have to give expert evidence at the eventual trial.

Audit techniques are used to identify and to gather evidence to prove, for example, how long the fraud has been carried out, and how it was conducted and concealed by the perpetrators. Evidence may also be gathered to support other issues which would be relevant in the event of a court case. Such issues could include:
Suspect’s motive and opportunity to commit fraud
Whether the fraud involved collusion between several suspects?
Any physical evidence at the scene of the crime or contained in documents
Comments made by the suspect during interviews and/or at the time of arrest
