Forensic Services Study

Nine questions are posed in the Discussion Memorandum for which readers are asked to provide their responses.

These questions include considering whether more detailed forensic procedures need to be required in an audit of an entity. The questions also include whether such procedures should be performed by forensic accountants and whether this “type” of accountant needs separate education, training and certification.

The Committee needs your feedback on the Discussion Memorandum. Click here Forensic Study to download the Memorandum. Or you may visit the AICPA's website at: http://www.aicpa.org/members/div/mcs/exec_summ_forensic_svcs.htm .

Your responses will help shape the debate and the resulting changes in our profession.
