Adli muhasebe, muhasebe mesleğinin bir dalı olarak gelişmiş ülkelerde, ülkemize oranla daha eski bir geçmişe sahiptir. Son yıllarda yaşanan muhasebe ve denetim skandalları, yasadışı para trafiğinin artması ve beyaz yakalı suçlarında yaşanan artış adli muhasebeye olan ihtiyacı giderek arttırmaktadır. Dünyada ayrı bir mesleki uzmanlık olarak değerlendirilen ve hızla yaygınlaşan adli muhasebecilik, ülkemizde yeni bir kavram olarak gelişme aşamasındadır. Bu çalışmada Mersin İlinde faaliyet gösteren muhasebe meslek mensuplarının adli muhasebecilik mesleği ile ilgili farkındalık düzeylerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 304 meslek mensubuna anket uygulanmış ve veriler SPSS istatistik programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre muhasebe meslek mensuplarının adli muhasebe ve adli muhasebecilik mesleğini duydukları, ancak henüz yeterince bilgi sahibi olmadıkları görülmüştür.
