9Forensic Accounting Certificate Overview Forensic accounting is the integration of accounting, auditing and investigative skills, to assist in legal matters. Forensic accounting involves looking beyond the numbers to grasping the substance of situations. It s more than accounting and more than detective work. It is the application of a specialized body of knowledge to economic transaction analysis and reporting. Forensic accountants may also provide expert testimony in the courtroom or provide litigation support to clients. According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, there has not only been an increasing demand since the 1990s for accountants to possess specialized forensic knowledge and experience, but also the definition of forensic accounting is continuing to expand beyond just that of fraud detection (AICPA, Characteristics and Skills of the Forensic Accountant). Although the program focuses primarily on forensic accounting related to fraud and financial crime, forensic accounting within civil matters such as business valuation will also be reviewed. The cross-disciplinary nature of these courses means that non-accounting professionals will also find the courses beneficial. The courses are designed to be of interest to individuals wishing to protect themselves or their organizations against fraud. The courses are skills-oriented in the investigation of fraud and other irregularities in today s business world. CERTIFICATE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Participants seeking the Forensic Accounting Certificate must complete all three courses within two years from the start of their first course. Each course of the certificate is online and self-paced. Participants must complete all course lectures, assignments, and quizzes during each month-long course but have up to one year to complete each final exam. Each class in the series runs for 30-31 days once a year. Although activities are asynchronous, specific course dates are necessary to allow for interaction with instructors and fellow students.
