The Difference Between Fraud Examination and Forensic Accounting
Forensic accounting and fraud examination are different but related. Forensic accounting work is done by accountants in anticipation of litigation and can include fraud, valuation, bankruptcy and a host of other professional services. Fraud examinations can be conducted by either accountants or non-accountants and refer only to antifraud matters.
