	Forensic Accounting
		Forensic accounting can be defined as assistance in disputes regarding allegations or suspicion of fraud, which are likely to involve litigation, expert determination, enquiry by an appropriate authority, and investigations of suspected fraud, irregularity or impropriety which could potentially lead to civil, criminal or disciplinary proceedings.
		The focus is primarily on accounting issues, but the role of the forensic accountant may extend to more general investigation which includes evidence gathering.
		It is because of the fact that by definition, forensic assignments are related to judicial or quasi-judicial dispute resolution, that the forensic investigator requires a basic understanding of the applicable statutory and common law, the law of evidence and the law of procedure.

	What is Forensic Accounting?
		HAT IS Simply put, forensic accounting is accounting that is suitable for legal review, offering the highest level of assurance, and including the now generally accepted connotation of having been arrived at in a scientific fashion.
		That is, forensic accounting is sufficiently thorough and complete so that an accountant, in his/her considered independent professional judgement, can deliver a finding as to accounts, inventories, or the presentation thereof that is of such quality that it would be sustainable in some adversarial legal proceeding, or within some judicial or administrative review.
		Forensic accounting is focused, therefore, upon both the evidence of economic transactions and reporting as contained within an accounting system, and the legal framework which allows such evidence to be suitable to the purpose(s) of establishing accountability and/or valuation.
