Course Description
The discipline of forensic auditing has evolved from the unification and integration of information technology (IT), along with accounting, auditing and police science investigative techniques. The results of a forensic audit or investigation provides an analysis, grounded in accounting and IT fact, which is admissible and agreeable to a court of law, which eventually forms the basis for discussion, debate, dispute resolution, and potentially criminal or civil prosecution.

The forensic investigator has many tools with which to unravel the truth, using financial intelligence combined with IT skills, cyber forensic techniques and generally accepted investigative practices; the investigator can reconstruct financial transactions and operations to assist in mitigating or uncovering the unauthorized outward flow of organizational assets (e.g., intellectual property, financial resources, data, etc.). This workshop will introduce the attendee to the field of forensic auditing, accounting and associated disciplines, which use in part, accounting techniques and forensic tools to identify and combat organizational fraud.
