Certificate of Achievement

Accounting is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in today’s economy. Since it is service oriented, it involves working with people almost as much as with financial records. Accountants not only collect and report financial data, but they also serve as the link between the data and the people who use it.

Graduates of the Program will be able to:

  • Have a strong foundational knowledge of the history and current status of forensic accounting.
  • Apply this foundational knowledge to investigate and report on potentially fraudulent activity.
  • Create written and computer-generated reports to be used in litigation support provided by accountants.
  • Enumerate the proper methods used in evidence management.
