2. How is the FBI Involved with Forensic Accounting?
Even as far back as 1908, FBI forensic
accountants have been an integral part of
agency operations. While 12 of the original
34 agents were auditing professionals,
special agent accountants now represent
about 15% of the force.

3. Historical Background
• During the early 1970s, the FBI established a group of
accounting professionals to help work increasingly complicated
financial cases. These positions were non-agent in nature, and
acted as support to assist agents unfamiliar with complex
economic matters.

4. Historical Background
• Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the savings and loan crisis
significantly impacted the nation. The FBI was forced to address
critical and sophisticated financial issues, further challenging
agents. As a result, the Bureau added financial analysts as agent
personnel.

5. Historical Background
• In 2009, the agency added FBI forensic accountants to its ranks,
responding to the ever-changing criminal terrain. Large-scale
corporate fraud and other complicated financial conspiracies
became prevalent after 9/11, requiring the FBI to establish this
centralized board of investigative support personnel.

9. Forensic Accountant
Training Program
While they may bring extensive experience and qualifications to
the FBI, forensic specialists must also undergo a six-week course to
train them in Bureau operations.
The courses concentrate on policies, programs and approaches, as
well as investigation resources, complex financial topics,
methodologies, legal training and litigation techniques.

10. Forensic Accountant
Training Program
Every FBI field office employs an FBI forensic accountant, though
offices in larger cities may have several on staff separated into two
groups: forensic accountants and financial analysts. At the main
agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., there is the Forensic
Accountant Support Team (FAST).
When a crisis erupts that requires immediate, aggressive action,
the FAST crew responds, electronically or personally as
circumstances command.
