Presentación

Forensic accounting is financial detective work. It combines accounting, IT, legal, and investigative skills. Professionals often work on fraud and hidden asset investigations, valuations, dispute resolution, and act as expert witnesses in court. This is a growing area of accounting, with specialist departments in larger and many medium-sized firms. With a shortage of professionals in this field, you can look forward to an exciting and well-paid career.

This degree comprises a mixture of accounting, IT and investigative skills. Your first year of study will be the same as the BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance. You will then specialise in forensic accounting in your second and final year.

Salidas profesionales

The world needs more forensic accountants in all kinds of sectors and organisations. Thanks to a shortage of people with relevant specialist skills, you can expect to be well paid for your talents. Forensic accountants work for accounting firms, banks, insurance companies and law firms. You will also possess general accounting skills, so you will have the same career opportunities as accounting and finance graduates.

To give you a head start following graduation the University organises an annual employability conference for its accounting students. Previous attendees have included PwC, Eversheds, JK Accountancy, Civitas Law and Watkins & Gunn.
