Benefits of Forensic Accounting: Detect and prevent fraud within your organization.

Question

Research question

1. What are the benefits of forensic accounting?
2. How does forensic accounting detect fraud within an organization?
3. Can forensic accounting help prevent fraud within an organization?

Clarity: You should be clear about why you chose the topic. Academic: You must provide a fully referenced academic rationale for your project (e.g. topic is under-researched, needs updating, is a new use of theory, is a topical topic Such). The rationale should be linked to the research question

Literature review and critical discussion Report:

Literature reviews are expected to critically discuss the importance of insights from sources and show how they can help answer research questions. Claims on your topic should be substantiated using scientific sources that support your argument. That is, we refer to existing research and justify why we make such claims. A strong theoretical approach should be maintained throughout the discussion. This can be achieved, for example, by using and applying theoretical/scientific arguments to analyze practical problems and problems faced by (enterprise) organizations.

Structure and clarity: You should write clearly and concisely, and structure your sections in a way that leads to a logical conclusion.

Critical Analysis: Arguments should be analytical and evaluative, not just explaining the content of other sources. As you work, you need to build arguments and weigh and contrast different points of view. These arguments should be well documented and backed up by reliable sources.

Relevance: You should clarify the relevance of what you are discussing and assess the importance of your findings. Good work places the issue in its broader business and social context, but the relevance of any “digressions” should be clearly demonstrated to avoid underperformance.

Conclusions and recommendations for future research:

The project should then provide a conclusion and final assessment of the selected topic and make recommendations for future research and investigation. Again, this discussion is about research questions, and research questions should be answered. It’s important to note that the conclusion should be more than just a summary of the discussion. Instead, the implications of the findings should be discussed directly in the context of the research question. Guidance on this important part of the process is provided in lectures and workshops.

Discussion Flow: Conclusions should be drawn from the discussion. Generally, this section does not introduce anything completely new or provide new insights into the topic.

Relevant to the question: To answer/address the question you identified at the beginning of the project, you should summarize and analyze/evaluate the key points from the previous section. One way to do this is to have a conclusion section with each question as a heading.

Logical/Rational: Your recommendation should constructively consider further research that may be conducted on the topic in the future. A strong project considers the limitations of non-empirical research (such as studies based solely on secondary data or reviews of published literature) and proposes ways to overcome these.
