With all this going on, it's no wonder that the forensic accounting profession has grown by 3.3% in 2022. Interest in the field has increased to an extent where the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 4% growth in forensic accounting jobs between 2019 and 2029. What makes forensic accounting even more attractive is that the starting pay is significantly higher than other fields of accounting — close to $100,000. There are several certifications available in forensic accounting, each with varying professional and educational requirements. The challenge is finding the right certification for you.
