With my forensic accounting background, I would welcome the opportunity to serve on your Board of Directors or Audit Committee.

The JFA is dedicated to promoting excellence in forensic accounting. The Journal provides an important forum for the publication of all significant research dealing with forensic accounting, striving to establish a balance between theoretical and empirical studies. The Journal considers papers on fraud and fraud auditing, risk assessment, detection of earnings manipulation and tax evasion, bankrupcy studies, GAAP violation, financial statement fraud, internal auditing, and the underground economy. In addition, papers on new developments of particular interest and preventive controls are also considered. Review articles on progress in areas of particular importance to forensic accounting are occasionally invited. All papers are blind reviewed.

The intended audience is academic and business researchers, accountants specializing in fraud and forensic accounting, external and internal auditors, and tax personnel. This academic journal has three sections : feature articles, teaching and educational notes, and classroom cases.

Three copies, $50 nonrefundable submission fee, and an IBM compatible computer disk should be sent to

“What the use of finger prints was to the 19^th century and DNA analysis was to the 20^th, forensic accounting will be to the 21^st century.”
- Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer, 10 October 2006.
