Programme Prospects
- Given the nature and types of fraud in India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has compulsorily made forensic accounting audit mandatory for all banks within the country. The establishment of Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in India has become the turing point for forensic accountants in the country
- Although the focus is fundamentally on accounting concerns, the function of a forensic accountant may also cover a more generic investigation including collection of evidence.
- Almost every accounting firm in the country today has forensic accounting sections. Within these sections, there may be sub-differentiations; for instance, some forensic accounting experts may specialise in insurance applications, personal injury declarations, fraudulence, construction or royalty audits.
- Forensic accountants may also offer their services in retrieving profits from crime and in relation to appropriation proceedings relevant to definite or assumed proceeds of crime or dubious transfer of funds.
Most forensic audit accountants work in major accounting firms and are needed for investigating mergers and acquisitions, taxation related transaction investigations, economic crime investigations, money laundering activities, all kinds of civil litigation support, specialised audits, and even in terrorist activities financing investigations. They can also work with the police department, or intelligence agencies, particularly when investigating criminal or international cases, as well as with insurance companies and law firms.
