Master of Forensic Accounting

Overview

Students will be given a broad-based introduction to the nature and purpose of forensic accounting. The scope and content of all subjects extend well beyond a 'legal' focus and provide an opportunity to study and acquire skills in investigative techniques and the collection of data as well as the skills necessary to not only identify poor management but also unethical and fraudulent activities.
