Forensic Accounting and FAU: An Executive Graduate Program

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a description of the executive Master's in Accounting with a concentration in forensic accounting program offered by Florida Atlantic University, an AACSB‐accredited higher‐educational institution located in southeast Florida. This program—the first of its kind in the United States—provides students with the option of attending lectures in person or via web conferencing. Also discussed is the impact that the model curriculum for fraud examination and forensic accounting has had on the program as well as challenges that have been met in creating and developing an executive graduate program in forensic accounting.
