Forensic Accounting by John Taylor<\/h2>\n

In many ways the world of forensic accounting will seem familiar to finance professionals but it asks much more of an accountant than an ordinary job. Forensic accountants’ day to day work involves fraud investigations, damages assessments, valuations of businesses or curious entities and frequently involves legal proceedings.<\/p>\n

The forensic accountant could spend a week as the expert witness in a matrimonial dispute involving millions of pounds of marital assets, before spending the next valuing a football club. <\/p>\n

This course allows learners to work through activities, share their learning with peers, and get the knowledge and skills that will enable them to operate in the world of the forensic accountant.<\/p>\n
