Product Description
"Forensic accounting" is a growing area of practice in which the knowledge, skills and abilities of advanced accounting are combined with investigative expertise and applied to legal problems. Forensic accountants are often asked to provide litigation support where they are called on to give expert testimony about financial data and accounting activities. In other more proactive engagements, they probe situations using special investigative accounting skills and techniques. Some even see forensic accounting as practiced by skilled accounting specialists becoming part and parcel of most financial audits--an extra quality control step in the auditing process that will help reduce financial statement fraud. CCH's Forensic and Investigative Accounting (2nd Edition) is a complete and readily teachable text on today's most timely accounting topics. Written by three top accounting and forensic teachers, this text covers all the important underpinnings, as well as the substance of forensic accounting. It covers both litigation support and investigative accounting, examining the practical aspects of these two areas, as well as many of the newer technological areas. For the 2nd Edition, three new chapters have been added: - a new capstone chapter provides a case analysis that helps illustrate what is involved in a substantive forensic engagement from start to finish. - a new chapter covers computer forensics, which covers the use and recovery of electronic data for solving technology-based crimes - a new chapter covers economic damages resulting from wrongful terminations, wrongful death and other issues relating to personal injury. Forensic and Investigative Accounting explains and demonstrates how an effective forensic accountant needs a solid understanding of accounting, investigative auditing techniques, criminology, and courtroom procedures, as well as excellent communications skills, both written and oral.

I developed and taught the Forensic & Investigative Accounting Certificate program at Cal State Fullerton based on this text. The text is invaluable to every CPA wanting to pursue the Certified Forensic Accountant (CrFA) designation from the American College of Forensic Examiners. The current edition continues to provide the best foundation available for a rewarding career as a forensic accountant.

 lots of missprints June 21, 2010

I used this textbook for a course in graduate school. I was glad to have the most recent version of the book, and I think it covers pretty much everything related to forensic accounting, which is a developing and changing field. I was frustrated with this book many times because of the many missprints--errors in the index, and operators missing from mathematical formulas, especially.
