FORENSIC ACCOUNTING; A TOOL FOR FRAUD DETECTION AND PREVENTION IN PUBLIC SECTOR
Abstract
The incidence of fraud continues to increase across public sector organizations even though officials and employees who manage public sector activities are by virtue of their duty required to render adequate accounts of their activities to the public (Ribadu, 2015). Forensic accounting is said to bring significant improvement in the quality of fraud detection and prevention. This study is meant to help and emphasize the need for the public sector to wield forensic accounting as a tool for detecting and preventing fraud.
