Abstract

Forensic accounting is a field utilizing accounting and investigative knowledge to detect and examine financial fraud. There is growing demand for professionals in the field. Currently Bowling Green State University (BGSU) does not offer a forensic accounting course. To determine if introducing a forensic accounting to BGSU is appropriate at this time, I have researched other accounting programs and forensic accounting courses. I have also conducted surveys of Schmidthorst College of Business students and faculty as well as forensic accounting professionals to determine if implementing a forensic accounting course would be beneficial to the university and to students. Based on this research, I have determined that students are interested in a forensic accounting course and the course would be beneficial to accounting students. Using the information gathered, I utilized evidence-based curriculum development to design undergraduate and graduate-level curriculum to be implemented for an effective forensic accounting course at Bowling Green State University.
