Rasmussen College
If you are considering a Forensic Accounting degree, Rasmussen College can put you on the path to a satisfying career in the high demand area of fraud detection and prevention, with our fantastic Financial Investigations program. Students will gain a thorough knowledge of Accounting, Criminal Justice, and Law, and learn to identify and keep accurate records on the movement of money.
Traditional techniques of criminal investigation such as eyewitness accounts, identifications through fingerprints and the compilation of physical evidence are useful to solve crimes but in crimes relating to money matters such as tax evasion, public corruption, health care fraud and terrorist financing these long established techniques could not be helpful as the nature of crime is entirely different. A Financial Investigator that possesses forensic accounting skills will often be the reason the criminal is convicted in this sort of case.
Tracing the path of money shows the exchanges and interactions that took place to provide helpful data. In order to provide proof of fraud or criminal activity, it is necessary to identify where the money comes from, who gets it, when it is received, and where it is stored or deposited. We offer a Financial Investigation program for people interested in pursuing careers in this exciting field.
Corporations and government agencies have begun to search for new ways to combat white-collar crime. As corporations look for new ways to protect themselves from economic crime, forensic accounting careers are becoming increasingly prevalent. Financial Investigators assist in the detection, investigation, and prevention of this type of crime.
A degree in Accounting with a minor in Financial Investigations is often required for Forensic Accounting positions. These people have Forensic Accounting and Financial Investigation skills, using them to locate mistakes and errors in financial records, trace them to where they originated, and then assist in their correction or prosecution.
