Undergraduate Research

In your advanced forensic accounting courses, you are required to write a case based on a real fraudulent incident and commit to attending a forensic fraud accounting-related conference. Your research may include interviewing people associated with the crime, data from various sources and more. 

Based on your final work, your professor will ask the top student projects to be revised and submitted to a fraud-related conference. Students can apply for the McCann Grant or other financial aid to help pay for their registration, travel and more.
