Forensic accountants look behind the numbers to see the crime. They identify employee theft, securities fraud, identity theft and insurance fraud. Not only do they detect fraud, but also recommend actions to prevent fraud. No wonder the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts much greater than average job growth in this sector.*
