What is Forensic Accounting?

Forensic accounting is a specialized field that combines accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to address legal matters. It involves the application of financial expertise in legal disputes, providing factual presentations of economic issues related to litigation. This discipline goes beyond traditional accounting practices, requiring a keen eye for detail and the ability to uncover financial irregularities that may not be apparent at first glance.

Our forensic accounting team at Business & Financial Solutions is well-versed in this discipline, offering comprehensive support and expert analysis. We employ advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to scrutinize financial records, identify discrepancies, and provide clear, concise reports that stand up to legal scrutiny. Our practices align with the standards set by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), ensuring the highest level of professionalism in our work.

What Does a Forensic Accountant Do?

Forensic accountants play a vital role in litigation support and investigation. Their responsibilities include:

1. Quantifying damages sustained by parties involved in legal disputes
2. Providing in-depth financial analysis of complex transactions
3. Assisting in resolving disputes before they reach the courtroom
4. Uncovering financial fraud and embezzlement, often working alongside agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in white-collar crime cases
5. Conducting thorough asset tracing and recovery
6. Performing business valuations in cases of disputes or mergers and acquisitions

If a case proceeds to trial, forensic accountants can testify as expert witnesses, presenting complex financial information in a clear and concise manner. Their ability to translate intricate financial data into understandable terms is crucial in helping judges and juries make informed decisions.

Is a Forensic Accountant a Maryland CPA?

Yes, a forensic accountant can also be a Maryland Certified Public Accountant (CPA). In fact, many forensic accountants hold a Maryland CPA designation, which demonstrates their advanced knowledge and expertise in accounting principles, financial analysis, and legal proceedings. Being a Maryland CPA adds credibility and ensures a high level of professionalism in forensic accounting engagements.

At Business & Financial Solutions, our team includes qualified Maryland CPAs with specialized training in forensic accounting, following the guidelines set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Forensic and Valuation Services Section. This combination of expertise allows us to provide comprehensive services that blend traditional accounting knowledge with investigative skills required for forensic work.

What Are the Two Types of Forensic Accounting?
