Program

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.”

Until now.

The Consultants’ Training Institute (CTI) and financialforensics®, have developed the only software-based civil/criminal financial forensics/forensic accounting methodology in existence, called Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology© (FA/IM©). This two-day primer—Forensic Accounting Clinic—exposes attendees to the key financial forensics tools and techniques deployed in civil and/or criminal matters—tools and techniques that are applicable to auditing, tax, valuation, litigation, fraud, and virtually every aspect of CPA services.
