Hello all . I need advise for switching my career to forensic accounting practice.
Im currently working almost 5yrs for corporate banking, which is obviously non related forensic or accounting practice, but passed all Cpa exam already for career change. What else do i need to be prepared to hunt the foresic job in neat future? The level doesnt matter. I just want to start off with forensic accouting practice. Is additional CFE helpful? Any advise for career change? Would that be hard?

I think you need to be able to explain why you want to make that change. I think the CFE would be helpful to show an interest in that path (and that you’re serious). You can definitely get into it if it’s what you want to do!

Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
