Inquiry

With increasing scrutiny of claims made by businesses and growing intolerance of fraudulent or deceptive activity, forensic accountants are increasingly in demand. Using a combination of accounting knowledge and investigative skills to ensure that the numbers add up the way they’re supposed to, forensic accountants are sought after to investigate fraud or financial irregularities, advise on the financial aspects of disputes, value businesses and other assets and assist with data protection issues.

This course prepares you to become a forensic accountant by developing your accounting, auditing, legal and investigative knowledge and skills, and giving you the highly specialised skills you need to analyse and prepare financial information for a court of law.

Key Features

You’ll learn from industry leaders with extensive experience in conducting forensic investigations.
The applied nature of the course and its assessment tasks means that you’ll learn how to prepare an investigation plan, discuss issues relevant to properly obtaining and handling evidence and analyse a variety of potential evidence sources.
You’ll appraise investigation reports and issues related to their preparation and use.
You’ll benefit from our flexible study program that blends online teaching and learning components with intensive face-to-face teaching blocks.
