“…Forensic science is a field of science that also involves identification, preservation, analysis and presentation of evidence in crime investigation [Lim 2005]. Forensic science and computer forensics overlap because they are both about crime investigation and presenting legally acceptable evidence in courts.…”

“…To compare the knowledge scope of various certifications, we classify computer-forensics knowledge areas into 11 categories as shown in Table 3. The categories are developed based on a framework of computer-forensics knowledge that identifies six areas of core computer-forensics knowledge-categories of crime, computer technology, security, legislation, investigation process, and forensic tools [Lim 2005].…”

With the proliferation of computer crime, the demand for computer-forensics experts continues to increase. Yet with so many computer-forensics certifications currently available, it is not an easy task for those outside the discipline to understand the differences among the various certifications. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of all the existing computer-forensics certifications for the benefits of non-computerforensics practitioners. Twenty-six computer-forensics certifications offered by 17 different associations are described and compared based on criteria such as certification requirements and knowledge coverage. The paper is useful to three groups of readers: (1) individuals who want to join the computer-forensics profession; (2) academics who are responsible for curriculum development in computer forensics; and (3) top-level managers who want to recruit computer-forensics professionals.

The bursting of the dot com bubble in March 2000 caused firms to be wary about investment in, and the use of, information technologies. Consequently, demand in technology-related jobs dropped significantly. This drop in demand has had a profound negative impact on the demand for information systems (IS) courses in the tertiary education sector. Some IS departments suffered badly, and some were forced to downsize their faculty through attrition, giving back faculty lines, freezing hiring, or releasing faculty. At the same time, there has been significant and sustained growth in demand for accounting programs. Professional accounting bodies have introduced technologies to accountants and auditors, and technologies have gained its significance in the accounting discipline. With such an observation, this paper explores whether accounting students see IS courses as a complement to their program and the chance to offer IS-related courses to accounting students. We administrated a survey to explore accounting students' preferences for accounting-related disciplines. We then conducted a number of focus groups to gain an understanding of their expectations and interest in technology-related courses. We found that although accounting students preferred finance courses to IS courses, they were interested in IS and considered IS to be useful to their long-term career. We then proposed several IS courses customized for accounting students. This will open up more teaching opportunities for IS academics, and strengthens the IS programs by providing stability in an otherwise unstable environment. After the rationale for a list of proposed IS-related courses for accounting students, we discussed some issues that IS academics should pay attention to before launching these courses. 198Volume 22 Article 11 I. INTRODUCTIONWith the significant rise of the dot com in the late 1990s, firms invested heavily to incorporate information communication technologies (ICT) into their business processes. However, these investments did not necessarily complement the firms' business models and consequently were not value-adding. Because of this, capital markets repriced ICT firms and firms with major ICT investment. Consequently there was a considerable fall in information technology share values in early 2000s. Following this, firms questioned the long-term benefits of technologies and were hesitant to invest further, resulting in a substantial decline in the job market. The situation was worsened by outsourcing of technology projects to low-cost centers in developing countries. This was followed by a dramatic drop of students' demand for information systems (IS) courses in tertiary education. Reports show that in 2001, IS enrolments decreased as much as 80 percent throughout the world [Granger et al. 2007]. With the considerable drop in the IS enrollment, some academics questioned the independence of IS, and doubted whether the IS departments should be merged with other disciplines, such as accounting, computer science, and management.
