Forensic accounting is interesting to me because it demands an analytical approach beyond the numerical data to unveil any potential criminal activity. Presently, I am employed at a bank where I have gained some insight into identifying criminal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and other fraudulent transactions.
