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. The program aims to improve knowledge and skills in the field of financial analysis, leading to improved prevention and combating of criminal threats in the EU. Relevant organizations will be involved in the implementation of the project. The need for forensic accounting expertise is growing in the EU with the emergence of online financial activities and FinTech, leading to new forms of financial fraud. This has led to an increased need for knowledge of legal processes and digital skills, as well as a multidisciplinary university program to improve the capacity of forensic accounting professionals. Graduates of a master's program in forensic accounting bring valuable expertise, including the ability to analyze complex financial data, identify fraud patterns, and testify as expert witnesses in civil litigation. Demand for forensic accounting professionals will remain high in the EU as regulatory and compliance requirements increase.
