Hmm... does anyone know what forensic accountants do?

They also do work related to those who deal largely in cash. People that own vending machine companies, bars, etc. sometimes try to claim less than they actually made, and a forensic accountant can often go in and establish just how much they would have made.

Interesting as well!

My friend is actually about to get into and specialize in forensic accounting. I just asked her, and didn't ask how you go about becoming one, but basically they're hired by law enforcement agencies(RCMP up here) to audit/invesitage "white collar crime". Drug trafficing, money laundering, etc. anything organized crime rings would do, I'd imagine.

Cool. That sounds interesting.
