From the Paper:

"The following paper will discuss a number of items. To begin with, it will outline (albeit in fairly general terms) what forensic accounting is and what it entails. Specifically, the next several pages will outline some of the questions and general investigative techniques pursued by forensic accountants exploring the veracity of personal or corporate financial records. Beyond that, the paper will also explore the skills and training that one should expect to find in a competent forensic accountant and will take some time to interview a family member who also happens to be an accountant to get their perspective on this demanding profession. Finally, some time will be devoted to outlining the general duties that accrue to any forensic accountant charged with uncovering truth, revealing falsehood and righting wrongs."
