The Journal of Forensic Accounting: Auditing, Fraud, and Risk (more commonly Journal of Forensic Accounting or JFA) is an academic journal published semi-annually for the advancement and professional development of the practice of investigative and forensic accounting. It covers topics such as forensic accounting, fraud investigation, corporate scandal and white-collar crime, among others, and the current editor-in-chief is D. Larry Crumbley, the KPMG Endowed Professor at Louisiana State University.
The journal received a rating of "B - Quality" from the Australian Business Deans Council, which places it as a "well regarded journal in the field", although with higher acceptance rates than those with higher rankings. It has received a similar ranking from the University of Texas at Arlington Accounting Department.
The journal has commissioned two books to be published as special supplements to the periodical. These supplements were included free of charge to certain subscribers when they were published, and are also available individually:
- Forensic Accounting in Matrimonial Divorce (James A. DiGabriele)
- Expert Witnessing in Forensic Accounting (Walter J. Pagano and Thomas A. Buckhoff)
The journal is available through print subscription as well as through archival CDs, and is indexed in the Accounting and Tax Index, an index of ProQuest.
Famous quotes containing the words journal of, journal and/or accounting:
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“At the crash of economic collapse of which the rumblings can already be heard, the sleeping soldiers of the proletariat will awake as at the fanfare of the Last Judgment and the corpses of the victims of the struggle will arise and demand an accounting from those who are loaded down with curses.”
—Karl Liebknecht (1871–1919)
