Overview

Forensic Accounting Gathering Evidence

The course comes with easy to understand e-learning study materials.

Gathering Evidence Forensic Accountancy can only be successful if every step in the investigative process is given sufficient priority. That said, it could be argued that nothing matters more than effective evidence gathering. Regardless of the nature or extent of the financial crime, the outcome will be determined by what takes place during this crucial stage. Forensic Accountants must have comprehensive knowledge of evidence gathering techniques, along with the confidence to put them into practice. The investigator needs to know where, when and how to both search for and gather evidence, following the detection of suspected fraud. Unless the right evidence is collected and presented in a timely manner, the rest of the fraud prevention process is rendered redundant.

This advanced tutorial is suitable for existing and prospective Forensic Accountants alike. Learn how to gather evidence strategically and effectively, along with the importance of evidence created by the Forensic Accountant. Explore the types of evidence that need to be gathered, document collection and organisation, sources of information and how to begin preparing a convincing case.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
