Forensic science is a vital instrument for the detection or investigation of crime and the administration of justice, providing crucial information about the evidence found at crime scene, it is especially important that the training and education of forensic scientists provide a solid scientific background and a broad base in criminalistics. The validity of those results depends on the knowledge, skills, and experience of the forensic scientists working to obtain them. A forensic scientist must be capable of integrating knowledge and skills in the examination, analysis, interpretation, reporting, and testimonial support of evidence. Fraud examiners represent a variety of careers and professional backgrounds. Forensic accounting is hardly a new field, but in recent years, banks, insurance companies and even police agencies have increased the use of these experts. The increase in white collar crime and the difficulties faced by law enforcement agencies in uncovering fraud have also contributed to the growth of the profession. Many accounting firms believe that the market is sufficiently large to support an independent unit devoted strictly to forensic accounting. In court, the forensic accountant can be an expert witness, a consultant, or play other roles such as trier of fact, special master, court-appointed expert, referee, arbitrator, or mediator. A key piece of evidence is the report of the forensic accountant. For better practice and Earning- A person in this field should have experience in auditing or accounting and educational qualification in Accounting or a related field. According to various web resources- As of 2009, the starting salary ranges between $30,000.00 (21,87,150 INR )and $60,000.00 (43,74,300.00 INR )per year depending on location of the job. With time and experience, a forensic accountant can potentially make six figures with 150K + not being uncommon. The average salary for a forensic accountant in the US is around $74,000.00. ( 53,94,970.00 INR ) A forensic accountant in New York could make up to $102,655.00 ( 74,84,062.00 INR )while a forensic accountant in Orlando usually only makes $56,071.00( 40,87,856 INR ). Some forensic accountants are not paid on salary and are rather contracted to do a specific task for a company. The job prospects for Forensic accountants are excellent. India is yet to meet the growing demand for fraud examiners because of a shortage of training institutions; Demand for fraud examiners is growing fast because of the use of information technology to commit crimes, growing business competition, and harsh economic times that are making some workers to steal from their employers or sell company secrets. There are no experience requirements necessary to call oneself a Forensic Accountant; However, there are many factors which will influence how a particular Forensic Accountant will be paid.

DNA Fingerprinting, also termed as DNA Profiling, Genotyping, DNA Typing or Genetic Fingerprinting is one of the most recent advancements in Forensic Science. This technique was discovered by Sir. Alec Jeffreys in 1984. While going through this network, he noticed that certain sequences of highly variable DNA (known as minisatellites), do not contribute to the functions of genes, and are repeated within genes. Jeffreys recognized that each individual has a unique pattern of minisatellites (the only exceptions being multiple individuals from a single zygote, such as identical twins). For the extraction of DNA, a sample of cells such as skin, hair, blood, saliva etc. is required.

DNA Fingerprinting technique is used in cases of sexual assaults, missing persons, paternity-maternity issues and certain other criminal cases. This course structure would make the students aware of the complex techniques and analytical methods employed by the scientists in DNA Profiling, and the revolution that the discovery of DNA Fingerprinting brought into the criminal investigation system.
