Why Study Forensic Accountancy?

Forensic accountants are hired by organisations worldwide to protect themselves from financial loss.  The threat posed by traditional fraudsters and cybercriminals alike is escalating at its fastest ever pace.  For the skilled forensic accountant, every day represents the ultimate ‘cat and mouse’ challenge, wherein the goal is to stay one step ahead of the fraudster.  Unfortunately, when an instance of fraud is detected, it may be too late to reverse the damage.  The most effective approach is to prevent fraud from occurring in the first place, which involves a careful programme of risk analysis, activity monitoring and evidence gathering. There’s growing demand for the services of skilled forensic accountancy personnel, making now the perfect time to consider a career change. Likewise, self-employment opportunities for qualified and capable forensic accountants are wide open.

Course Syllabus

Brentwood Open Learning College offers a diverse catalogue of endorsed accountancy programs, open for enrolment 365 days a year.  Our most Advanced Level 5 Forensic Accountancy Diploma takes place over a series of 12 detailed modules, which cover the following concepts and knowledge areas:

Module 1 - Introduction to Forensic Accounting

Module 2 - Crime and Economy

Candidates then consider the broad economic implications of financial crime, while considering the recent history and evolution of financial fraud.  Several different financial crime categories and tights are examined, along with the role of the forensic accountant in preventing financial crime and an introduction to the investigative process.

Module 3 - Psychology of The Fraudster

The psychology of the fraudster is discussed at length in module three, in which candidates consider the most common motivations for criminal activities.  Course content also covers the organisations and individuals at an elevated risk of being targeted by fraudsters, along with the mindset of the fraudster and the shared characteristics of contemporary criminals.

Module 4 - Fraud Detection Techniques

Module four outlines the importance of taking a proactive approach to fraud-detection and prevention.  The potential consequences of ignoring or overlooking evidence of fraudulent activity are discussed, along with an introduction to revenue recognition detection, financial statement fraud and several key fraud risk factors.

Module 5 - The Investigative Process

Course content examines the investigative process at a deeper level in module five, in which candidates study the initial stages of preparing a case against a suspected criminal.  Guidelines are presented for evaluating the strength of a case before going ahead, along with the importance of setting realistic goals and objectives during the initial planning phase.

Module 6 - Gathering Evidence

Candidates then learn how to begin the evidence gathering process, while considering different types of evidence and their respective functions in fraud detection and prevention. Key sources of evidence examined and discussed include journals, financial records, accountancy reports and so on.

Module seven examines the extent to which non-financial evidence plays an important role when establishing a case against a suspected fraudster.  Candidates learn how to assess and analyse the information contained in written statements, along with the fundamentals of the effective interview, how to ask questions strategically and the importance of presenting evidence in a confident and convincing manner.

Module 8 - Interviewing Financially Sophisticated Witnesses
