Like any accountant, a forensic accountant works to verify that firms run in an efficient manner, pay taxes on time, and maintain accurate records.
But unlike a normal accountant, a forensic accountant uses these financial skills to detect fraudulent criminal activity.
Forensic accountants investigate and decipher white-collar crimes like embezzlement, contract disputes and fraud. They are experts at detecting and solving crimes like money laundering, which is a popular racket for many organized crime syndicates.
To be a forensic accountant you'll need to be highly competent in finance and accounting.
