Abstract
Forensic analysis has become crucial for detecting financial crimes such as fraud, extortion, money laundering, and tax evasion in a rapidly evolving world. This type of analysis is also essential for promoting economic development and enhancing public trust in governments. As fraud strategies advance alongside rapid digital innovations, traditional forensic accounting relies on manual data examination and is increasingly inadequate for addressing sophisticated criminal fraud. The rise in cybercrime underscores digital forensics' need to conduct effective investigations. This study provides an overview of digital forensic accounting, emphasizing the need for forensic accountants to acquire digital forensic skills to conduct thorough investigations. It reviews previous research highlighting the importance of integrating digital technologies into forensic accounting, stressing that this convergence is crucial for enhancing the detection of financial crimes and cyber fraud. Furthermore, the study outlines the basic concepts of both traditional forensic accounting and digital forensics and presents some digital forensic accounting tools that can be utilized in forensic accounting and computer forensics.
