Why Study Forensic Accountancy?

The field of forensic accountancy concerns the detection and prevention of financial fraud.  Cyber criminals continue to pose a growing threat to consumers and businesses of all sizes worldwide.  Likewise, organisations must contend with the constant threat posed by internal entities looking to conduct fraudulent acts from within. For the forensic accountant, it is an ongoing ‘cat and mouse’ game between those conducting fraud and those tasked with preventing it. The consequences of fraud can be catastrophic, emphasising the importance of preventing fraud from occurring in the first place.  As a forensic accountant, your job is to protect the businesses and clients you work for from all possible eventualities.  A demanding role of high responsibility, which promises high salaries and lifelong job security for those who make the grade.

By the end of this course the learner will be able to:

  • Identify Fraud and types of Fraud
  • Discuss the history of Fraud Auditing and Forensic Accounting
  • Discuss different types of investigations and investigation planning

All free online certificate courses at Oxford Home Study Centre are 100% free of charge from start to finish.  There is no enrolment fee, all study aids are provided via our online learning platform and all of our courses are self-paced for total flexibility.

Our exclusive free courses provide the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge, develop new skills and explore new professions.  Upon completion of your free online certificate course, you will have the option of claiming one of three different types of certificates for a small fee:

  1. An official Course Completion Certificate from Oxford Home Study Centre
