Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation (FAFI)

Forensic accountants in demand

The widespread growth in white-collar crime and the increased need for homeland security have greatly raised the demand for forensic accountants and fraud investigators. Federal, state, and local governmental agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Offices of Inspector General all need accountants with forensic investigation skills. In the private sector, recent legislation (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and auditing standards (Statement on Auditing Standard No. 99) require companies and their auditors to be more aggressive in detecting and preventing fraud.
