“Forensic accounting is the specialized practice of combining accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to uncover financial discrepancies or fraud”<\/mark><\/p>

Forensic accounting is the practice of using accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to examine financial records for use in legal proceedings.<\/p>

Where a regular accountant prepares and reviews financial statements to ensure accuracy and compliance, a forensic accountant dives deeper into those same records , however the objective is to look for the evidences of fraud, theft, manipulation, or financial misconduct.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
