ABSTRACT
The central point of
this research work was how forensic accounting could be used in ensuring
credibility of audited financial statements, Detection of fraud in reporting
audited financial statements as well as detection of computer related fraud.
The researcher desires to reflect the positive impact which forensic accounting
can have, when incorporated into the mainstream of Nigerian quoted companies.
Questionnaires were administered to generate the necessary primary data, and
were analyzed descriptively, and the various hypotheses were tested using chi-
square. Review of relevant literature was carried out so as to get a deeper insight
and proper understanding of the subject matter. The result of the hypotheses
testing proved that forensic accounting would help restore the credibility of
audited financial statements, as well as detection of fraud in reporting
audited financial statements and detection of computer related fraud or crime
using forensic accounting procedures. It is therefore suggested that forensic
accounting/auditing should be embraced and integrated into the mainstream of
Nigerian organizations as a result of its low awareness and standardization in
Nigeria It is recommended that forensic accounting be introduced into the
curricular of tertiary institution in Nigeria in order to tap from the
opportunities that are abound in choosing forensic accounting as a career.
