Forensic accounting, forensic accountancy or financial forensics is the specialty practice area of accounting that describes engagements that result from actual or anticipated disputes or litigation. "Forensic" means "suitable for use in a court of law", and it is to that standard and potential outcome that forensic accountants generally have to work. Forensic accountants, also referred to as forensic auditors or investigative auditors, often have to give expert evidence at the eventual trial. All of the larger accounting firms, as well as many medium-sized and boutique firms and various police and government agencies have specialist forensic accounting departments. Within these groups, there may be further sub-specializations: some forensic accountants may, for example, just specialize in insurance claims, personal injury claims, fraud, anti-money-laundering, construction, or royalty audits.
Over the next five years, the Big Four accounting firms will continue to perform the majority of forensic accounting services because of their well-established relationships with large corporate clients. However, medium-size firms will likely take on an increasing share of forensic accounting work associated with the major public companies, as mergers among regional firms continue. Smaller firms that offer niche forensic accounting practices (e.g. family law and patent litigation) are projected to grow faster than the industry average during the next five years.
