Forensic Accounting

By Laura Miller, Robert Rufus, William Hahn

As a result of increased litigation and regulatory enforcement, the demand for forensic accountants has never been higher. This area of specialty is considered the top niche market in the accounting profession. The new Forensic Accounting is the first text of its kind to provide a comprehensive view of what forensic accountants actually do and how they do it.

Although intended primarily for use in upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses, this book is also a valuable resource for new practitioners or even seasoned practitioners seeking a review of critical concepts. According to lead author Dr. Robert Rufus, "This is the book I wish I had when starting my career."
