Background of the Study
Event management firms in Nigeria play a significant role in organizing events ranging from corporate gatherings to large-scale public festivals. These firms handle substantial financial transactions and resources, which can be prone to fraud and mismanagement. Given the nature of event management, which often involves handling large sums of money, goods, and services, fraudulent activities such as embezzlement, overbilling, and misappropriation of funds are common. Forensic accounting provides the tools necessary to detect fraud, investigate financial mismanagement, and ensure the integrity of financial reporting.
This study examines the role of forensic accounting in detecting fraud in event management firms in Ganye Local Government, Adamawa State. It will explore how forensic accounting techniques can be applied to identify financial irregularities in the budgeting, financial transactions, and reporting of event management firms.
