Forensic Accounting and Fraud in Contemporary Digital Environment (FORCE)

Forensic accounting is a specialty that combines traditional accounting and auditing with investigative methods to detect financial fraud and other financial irregularities. With the increasing globalization of the economy and more complex financial transactions, the risk of fraud is increasing and so is the need for forensic accountants with the necessary skills. There is a high demand for these professionals in the EU, particularly in organizations responsible for combating fraud. The Covid 19 pandemic has not stopped the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) from cracking down on financial fraud, but there is still a need for more professionals. To meet this need, a joint master's degree program has been established to provide students with comprehensive education in forensic accounting and fraud examination.
