Forensic accounting is what happens at the intersection of accounting and the law.

Forensic accounting is a niche area of accounting that uses financial knowledge, technology, and specialized techniques to provide information suitable for courts of law and other avenues of investigation. Some forensic accounting includes expert witness services by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), someone Accredited in Business Valuations (ABV), someone Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF), or a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).

Allied Forensic Accounting PLLC provides a wide array of forensic accounting services. Its principal, Julian Dozier, CPA, ABV, CFF, CFE, has worked as a forensic accountant continuously since 2006. Mr. Dozier frequently testifies as an expert witness, conducts covert fraud investigations, provides financial analysis to a wide variety of litigants and other clients, and works collaboratively with stakeholders to find practical solutions to complex issues.
