Detect & expose fraud with a forensic accounting degree
It’s a statistical fact: Most forms of occupational fraud are finance related. That’s why forensic accounting is such a fast-growing segment of the accounting profession. Forensic accountants help prevent and investigate corporate fraud. From tracking terrorist funding, to helping organizations stay compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley, to exposing money laundering, tax evasion and embezzlement, a variety of organizations across an array of industries are in need of well-prepared forensic accountants.
Program Availability
Program Overview
Become a financial detective and prevent white-collar crime
While many colleges offer forensic accounting programs at the graduate level, Franklin is one of the few universities offering a Forensic Accounting bachelor's degree program in this high-demand field. That means you’ll acquire specialized forensic accounting knowledge to qualify you for an exciting career position—without the time and expense of a graduate degree.
Moreover, forensic accounting courses are a great complement to other majors like accounting, business administration or business forensics – so you can boost your marketability by broadening your studies.
Get a solid foundation in accounting, fraud prevention, and detection
Our transfer-friendly Forensic Accounting degree program combines solid accounting principles with fraud detection and prevention techniques, preparing you to enter or advance in this exciting career field. When you graduate from the Forensic Accounting program you’ll have the educational framework to readily seek professional certification including: Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), or Certified Internal Auditor (CIA).
At Franklin, you’ll take many of the same classes as our undergraduate Accounting degree program, but you’ll also take concentrated coursework in occupational fraud forensics. From fraud examination to interviewing techniques to legal elements to corporate governance and internal control assessment, you’ll gain the highly coveted skills your current or next employer is looking for.
Impress your future employer with valuable, hands-on experience
Our online Forensic Accounting degree program features a unique hands-on curriculum to help you attract hiring managers’ attention and immediately put your skills to work. One of your real-world project assignments is a simulated investigation with a growing company needing help with accounting issues that surfaced during financial statement preparation. As part of a team, you’ll help with the investigation, correct the financial statements, and report your group findings.
You’ll also learn to create and streamline accounting systems and processes using industry-standard Microsoft® Visio software, which is an important part of preventing fraud as well as positively impacting the bottom line.
Learn from the experts in our well-respected, accredited program
And because credentialed instructors with professional accounting experience teach our classes, you’ll benefit from their years of experience in the field and learn from their successes and mistakes. In addition, our curriculum is based on industry standards, including Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), auditing standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and fraud detection and prevention techniques of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
You can be sure you’re receiving a respected degree with real value in the workplace since our Forensic Accounting degree program is accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), the leader in outcomes-based accreditation in business.
