Abstract

This is a survey of the literature published in forensic accounting journals over the last 15 years. It classifies the topics of research and the types of research methods used. It identifies several gaps in the literature in forensic accounting topics and research methods that receive little or no attention in the literature. The results suggest forensic accounting researchers are attempting to emulate topics and methods in accounting research which are less relevant to forensic accountants. Forensic accounting researchers are encouraged to undertake research in all topics within forensic accounting using diverse methods that will be valuable to forensic accountants.
