Abstract: THE ROLE OF FORENSIC ACCOUNTING FOR SECURITIES FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS
This study investigates the role of forensic accounting in securities fraud investigations, aiming to assess the methodologies used, evaluate their effectiveness, and identify challenges faced. A survey research design was adopted, with data collected from 300 forensic accountants and financial regulators in Lagos. The sample size was determined using Taro Yamane's formula, ensuring adequate representation. The reliability coefficient score of the survey was 0.87. Findings indicate that forensic accounting plays a crucial role in detecting and investigating securities fraud, employing advanced analytical techniques and forensic methodologies. However, challenges such as limited access to comprehensive financial data and the complexity of securities transactions can impede effectiveness. Recommendations include enhancing regulatory oversight and investing in advanced forensic tools and training to improve the detection and investigation of securities fraud.
