Scent of a fraud
- Forensic accountants need to have accounting and investigative skills. They have to look at every transaction, accounting entry with some level of scepticism
- If auditors swear by numbers, forensic accountants look for evidence of the clinching variety
- Certification course is provided by India Forensic in Pune
- One can get international certification such as that of a certified fraud examiner given by Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
- India has around 400 forensic accountants
- Reserve Bank of India has made forensic accounting audit compulsory for banks in India
It is worth mentioning here that the forensic experts are helping the investigative agencies in India at every stage. I think some forensic accounting experts must also be involved in the investigation work. But some how there are no news items about the kind of the work they are doing. It is worth to know what is the scope of the work of the forensic accounting experts in the case of Satyam investigation.
