Forensic Accounting is a broad classification that covers many areas of
accounting that requires specialized work. Most people associate auditing
with uncovering fraud but in reality auditing has more to do with presenting
accounting information according to prescribed rules and standards than
detecting fraud.
When more extensive accounting work is required to analyze "the
numbers", that is where Forensic Accounting is involved. It is a
specialized body of knowledge that contains some common elements to auditing and
regular accounting work but is normally applied more intensely. For
example, a company might want to know what has happened to some asset and if
there is a fraud or other illegal activity such as embezzlement happening.
A spouse might want to determine if assets have been hidden or illegally
removed from a company in a divorce matter. Tracing the flow of money
through bank accounts is another example.
