Auditing is an attestation service, performed by a Certified Public Accountant, to ensure that a company's financial statements are accurately reported. Forensic accounting is an applied science, using accounting, auditing, and other techniques (e.g. interviewing skills) to solve legal problems. Forensic accountants investigate and collect evidence to support companies, attorneys, and law enforcement officials in documenting financial fraud and embezzlement. Forensic accountants must ensure that their work is suitable for court.
