Küreselleşme ve hızlı
teknolojik gelişmeler, geleneksel yöntemlerin finansal bilgi manipülasyonların
ortaya çıkarılmasında yetersiz kalmasına neden olmuştur. Adli muhasebe,
finansal bilgi manipülasyonların araştırılmasına çağdaş bir yaklaşım
getirmiştir. Finansal piyasa katılımcıları gelecek dönemlerde adli
muhasebecilere olan ihtiyacın artacağını beklemektedir. Son yıllarda adli
muhasebe uygulamaları önemli derecede dikkat çekmiştir. Adli muhasebe
uygulamaları, dava desteği, uzman tanıklık ve hile denetiminde yoğun olarak
kullanılmaktadır. Geçmiş deneyimler, adli muhasebenin finansal bilgi
manipülasyonun tespit edilmesinde ve önlenmesinde önemli bir role sahip
olduğunu ispat etmiştir. Bu çalışma, adli muhasebenin finansal bilgi
manipülasyonun tespit edilmesindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Aynı
zamanda, adli muhasebenin temel dinamikleri tartışılmıştır. Finansal bilgi
manipülasyonun tespit edilmesinde adli muhasebeciler tarafından kullanılan
metotlar hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
