Forensic Accounting Clinic Program Sponsor: Financial Forensics
Academy
Program
Content
Your clients’ expectations reach beyond your core expertise, whether
auditing, tax, valuation, or litigation. Such expectations are no
surprise since forensic accounting is now a household term. Thanks to
extensive media coverage of several high profile corporate collapses and
showcasing of forensic accounting specialists, the public thinks that
all CPAs have such expertise. Consequently, the public, i.e., your
clients and prospects, think that you deliver professional services from
a foundation of forensic accounting. But the accounting profession
has yet to embrace (or even offer) a cogent, comprehensive, forensic
accounting methodology by which accountants can guide and refine their
forensic accounting craft. Likewise, defending one’s core expertise
continues to be more challenging without independently codified
benchmarks within a “body of knowledge.”
After completing this Clinic,
participants will be able to:
•Create a Genogram
•Create an Entity Chart
•Create a combined Genogram/Entity Chart
