Abstract

Küreselleşme ve hızlı teknolojik gelişmeler, geleneksel yöntemlerin finansal bilgi manipülasyonların ortaya çıkarılmasında yetersiz kalmasına neden olmuştur.

Geçmiş deneyimler, adli muhasebenin finansal bilgi manipülasyonun tespit edilmesinde ve önlenmesinde önemli bir role sahip olduğunu ispat etmiştir. Bu çalışma, adli muhasebenin finansal bilgi manipülasyonun tespit edilmesindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda, adli muhasebenin temel dinamikleri tartışılmıştır. Finansal bilgi manipülasyonun tespit edilmesinde adli muhasebeciler tarafından kullanılan metotlar hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
