In plain English, the term "forensic" means
"relating to court". As such, the term
"forensic" is regularly applied to multiple professional
disciplines such as forensic accountants, forensic psychologists,
or forensic crime scene investigators. As forensic specialists, we
apply the investigation skills associated with our chosen field to
help the Courts resolve legal disputes and crimes.
As forensic accountants, we typically apply our skills,
experience, and expertise in a litigation context involving
questions of an accounting, financial or commercial nature.
Typically, many people associate forensic accountants with solving
crimes involving fraud and embezzlement; however, investigating
white-collar crime is just one component of the broad suite of
services offered by forensic accountants.
