The Different Functions of Forensic Accountants

 

Crime is as old as society, and the men who had in their hands the power to administer justice have needed to prove the innocence or guilt of those who broke the rules, either to punish the offender or to absolve the innocent. Hence, the search for the truth through the means of evidence has evolved from the old "ordeals" in which the Supreme Judge decided the innocence or guilt of a person. Currently and unanimously, the doctrine indicates that to achieve the consolidation of the Modern Criminal Procedure and the different systems that make it operational, it is necessary to rely on the cutting-edge technologies offered by forensic sciences, which represent a tool for the fight against fraud and corruption.
