Certified Bank Forensic AccountantIn India Forensic Accounting is still in nascent stage and it becomes very difficult to find and retain the forensic accounting resources in India. Bank Forensic Accounting is an endeavor to meet the growing demand of the forensic accountants in the country. As a first step towards this initiative Indiaforensic Research Foundation has forayed into Bank Forensic Accounting.
For an unknown reason the banks are hesitant to appoint the external parties for preventing, detecting and investigating the frauds. They believe more in their internal audit teams for investigation of the frauds. Though this may be the subject of criticism we respect the decision of the bankers and in order to equip the vigilance departments of the Nationalized and Co-operative banks we have launched this course on Bank Forensic Accounting which is probably the first of its own kind. Co-operative bank failures have led to a growing awareness of the need for accounting and finance professionals to acquire skills to identify and act upon indicators of poor corporate governance, mismanagement, fraud and other unethical behavior. Distance learning course and you can register online 24/7/365 access to the courses.
CBFA course is done by the employees of KPMG, ING Vysya, Deutsche Bank & Astute Corp etc.
