Overview
Although steadily expanding for years before Enron, Worldcom and other major frauds in the early 2000s brought the concept into the public's consciousness, the field of forensic accounting has seen rapid growth since then. This growth has steadily increased the areas where forensic accountants can be utilized far beyond just fraud investigations into almost any area where money or other "numbers" are related to the issues in a case.
As with any professional area, the appropriate and effective use of forensic accountants within the legal process - as part of the legal "team" - can be improved. Both case outcomes and resource usage are dependent on many factors, including early involvement, continuing appropriate communication, and efficient utilization at each stage of the legal process both as legal consultants and expert witnesses.
