SOLVING PROBLEMS AND PROTECTING THE BOTTOM LINE

Theft. Fraud. Embezzlement. Hidden funds. Suspicious bookkeeping. Forensic accounting is a cat-and-mouse game between you and the numbers. You untangle a story using the clues that only a trained professional can find in the rows and columns of a spreadsheet.

Your master’s in accounting with a concentration in forensic accounting from Strayer University provides you with the background you need to complete cutting-edge audits and evaluate the most complex risk models.

We train you to detect and prevent fraud. You will learn to recognize the risk environment that allows the embezzler to sock away company funds and execute the detection process when management realizes something’s going terribly wrong.

A master’s in accounting with a concentration in forensic accounting allows you to help businesses that are caught in the worst position— compromised trust, disappearing assets, and no clear answer why.

Your education, your attention to detail, and your understanding of how fraud is committed, covered, discovered, and prosecuted allows you to be the resolution and relief to an anxious business owner or executive.

That’s a heavy responsibility. We’ll make sure you are ready.
