You don’t need an accounting background or a CPA to be in forensics. I don’t. Plus I don’t get scooped up for any of the long term boring “CPA needed/accounting knowledge needed” jobs. Win win!

Interesting. Why? We don't really investigate. We're more tech support for other groups, including forensic accounting.
