New! Forensic Accounting

Become an accounting super sleuth. In this introduction to forensic (fraud) accounting, you’ll learn various fraud examination techniques, including interview techniques, rules of evidence relating to fraud, internal control methodology, asset misappropriation and financial statement misrepresentation. Learn rules of evidence as they relate to several different fraudulent and illegal activities such as wagering, money laundering, cash skimming and embezzlement.

Program Highlights

With Champlain’s unique curriculum, you’ll study accounting your very first semester to develop a solid foundation of accounting skills over your first two years. In Years 3 and 4, you’ll take advanced accounting courses and develop the communication and problem-solving skills employers demand.

  • Develop strategic thinking through a variety of business courses and enhance your analytical skills through courses in mathematics and statistics.
  • Learn to employ computer technology in solving accounting problems.
  • Compete for a paid internship at a local or regional CPA firm and/or apply for one of several scholarships awarded to accounting students by local and regional CPA firms and professional organizations.
  • Provide tax assistance to elderly and low-income people through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program in conjunction with the IRS and the Vermont State Tax Department.
  • Interview right on campus with recruiters from CPA firms and captive insurance management firms.
  • Take the CPA exam in Vermont after completing several special accounting electives. (If you plan to take the CPA exam in another state, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the rules of that state.)
