Just as courtroom experience doesn’t turn a general practitioner into a medical specialist\, exposure to litigation doesn’t turn a general accountant into a forensic one. Forensic accounting is a specialisation in its own right — with its own body of knowledge\, investigative methods\, evidential standards\, and professional architecture. \nIn this session\, we’ll unpack: \nThe core distinction — general accounting asks “are these transactions correctly recorded and reported?” Forensic accounting asks why the transaction happened\, who authorised it\, who benefited\, and whether the conclusion can survive legal scrutiny. \nFollowing the money — using a hypothetical R10 million payment\, we’ll trace the full forensic pathway: beneficial ownership\, authorisation\, connected parties\, and ultimate beneficiaries. \nThe “unknown unknowns” — the competencies a skilled accountant may simply never have been trained in: evidential procedure\, fraud examination methodology\, interviewing\, digital forensics\, and evidence preservation. \nSame numbers\, different conclusions — real-world scenarios (director payments\, redirected remuneration\, property purchases\, unexplained transactions) showing how forensic and non-forensic reviews of identical figures can reach entirely different conclusions. \nBeyond fraud — forensic accounting’s role in commercial disputes\, shareholder and matrimonial matters\, insurance claims\, damages quantification\, and regulatory investigations. \nThe evidence problem — the gap between a tidy reconciliation and a conclusion that can withstand cross-examination. \nDigital evidence — why the modern forensic accountant investigates the transaction and the digital ecosystem around it. \nThe expert witness question — what actually qualifies someone to give forensic opinion evidence\, beyond simply having appeared in court before. \nThe closing proposition: the question isn’t whether someone is a good accountant — it’s whether they’re qualified and experienced for the specific forensic question you’re asking them to answer. \nWhether you’re a legal practitioner briefing an expert\, a business leader assessing risk\, or an accountant considering the forensic specialisation\, this session will sharpen how you tell the difference — before it costs you. \nRegister now to secure your spot on MS Teams. \n \n Register Here URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/not-all-accountants-are-forensic-accountants/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Development sessions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20261022T100000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20261022T100000 DTSTAMP:20261008T132232Z CREATED:20261008T132228Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261008T132232Z UID:17922-1792663200-1792663200@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:Beyond the Qualification: Thriving in Your First Professional Role DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Qualification: Thriving in Your First Professional Role\nYour qualification gets you through the door; what you do next shapes your career. \nThis webinar is for final-year students and early-career professionals\, especially those heading into commercial forensic and related fields\, who want to understand what it really takes to succeed in a first professional role. \nYou’ll learn: \nWhat employers actually expect from new starters \nHow to build professional confidence and credibility early \nThe skills and behaviours that help you stand out \nHow to make the most of your first few years and plan your next steps \nWhether you’re about to start work or have just begun\, you’ll leave with practical guidance you can use straight away. \n📅 Thursday\, 22 October 2026 | 🕐 10:00 am – 12:00 pm | 💻 Microsoft Teams👉 Register here \nKnow someone who’d benefit?
