Forensic and Investigative Accounting (2nd Edition)

This title offers detailed coverage of forensic accounting, one of the most timely topics in today’s challenging post-Enron environment. Forensic and Investigative Accounting is written by three top accounting and forensic teachers, and covers both litigation support and investigative accounting - examining the practical aspects of these two areas, as well as many of the newer technological areas. The book demonstrates and explains 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.

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
