Forensic Accounting

[Hodgeyhodgey]

I know it's wayyyyy to early in the year to be worrying about preferences and such, but I just can't get it off my mind.

I would love to do forensic accounting when I'm older (accounting for court cases e.g. fraud, divorce, etc) and I was wondering which course/uni would be best to pursue this career.

I was thinking a normal bachelor of commerce or accounting would suffice and after completion maybe do honours and CA or CPA and then just apply for a job. On the other hand, I was thinking maybe a bachelor of commerce and law would make more sense...

Which would I be better off doing?


Also, I need to know which uni(s) I should be looking at applying for later on in the year. It's quite a disadvantage, but I'm not doing methods this year, as I suck at it and it clashes at school with my accounting class. And as UoM and Monash require 25< in methods for commerce, I can't exactly go there. Would a transfer be viable at midyear or after the first year? Or would I still be required to have that prerequisite of methods? If it's not allowed, which uni should I be looking at, Latrobe, Deakin, etc.


So basically what I'm asking is, which course (commerce or commerce/law) and which uni if it's not possible to transfer to UoM/Monash?

Thanks,
Hodgey

I believe monash has a bridging course for people who didn't do methods. If not I think rmit has a good name in accounting.

Would the bridging course put me behind the rest? If so, how far behind?
