“…Although there are prior reviews of the forensic accounting literature (Botes and Saadeh, 2018;Howieson, 2018;Huber and DiGabriele, 2015;Tiwari and Debnath, 2017), it is important to understand the factors that affect forensic accounting education and profession in both positive and negative ways. Forensic accounting literature is increased in the last few years (Honigsberg, 2020;Huber and DiGabriele, 2015;Ozili, 2020;Ramos et al, 2019). This increase has been driven by the important applications of forensic accounting for companies and their stakeholders (Sahdan et al, 2020;Yang and Lee, 2020), as well as the heightened anxiety about fraud against companies and societies (Abdullahi and Mansor, 2018;Allan et al, 2018;Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, 2016a, b, 2018Blythe and Goodpasture, 2019;Dennis and Johnstone, 2018;Honigsberg, 2020;€ Ozt€ urk and Usul, 2020;Ramos et al, 2019;Sadaf et al, 2018;Timofeyev and Jakovljevic, 2020).…”
