The growing number of cyber crimes, failure of regulators
to track the security scams, successive busting of co-
operative banks etc. lead to a rise in the need of Forensic
accounting. Forensic accounting is the practice of utilizing
accounting, auditing and investigative skills to assist in
legal matters. Forensic accounting involves legal
investigation and analysis of financial documents of any
firm or client, who is involved in a legal dispute. It
encompasses 3 main areas – litigation (law suit) support,
investigation and dispute resolution. Litigation support
represents the factual presentation of economic issues
related to existing or pending litigation.
