Forensic Accounting

This query is : Resolved 

18 July 2010 Hi, i cleared CA in June'09 and have joined in one of the big 4 CA firm.
I'm currently into statutory audit of UK Mutual Funds.
After getting exposure to company audit through my articleship training and post CA, i got good exposure to mutual funds. Keeping this exposure to different types of audit, now i want to get into the field of Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection using IT and CAATs permanently.
I'm much interested in this field, could you please guide me about the job opportunities in this field and what are the key skills sets required.
Please note i am planning to join Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection using IT and CAATs training offered by our ICAI institute.

02 September 2010 To answer your query in on job prospects:

1. You will be a good fit in internal audit dept of any large CA firms
2. You could also be a good fit to join the same dept of a corporate.
3. You can find a position in surveillance dept of stock exchange, mutual fund house, etc

Regarding the skill set you could consider doing CFE course (Certified Fraud Examiner) or CISA to supplement your credentials.
Forensic audit is a growing professional area and I wish you all the best!
