They start out in the 40s for government. I'm not sure about private.

Forensic accounting is a hot field right now.

There's a state university near me, Florida Atlantic University, that offers a Masters in Forensic Accounting. They offer it online and on-campus, and they seem to be swamped with applicants to this program, even though it's a tier-4 school.

Everybody wants to be a fraud examiner.

I applied to them. But after seeing what my bill would be, I decided it wasn't worth it. I'm happier doing what I'm doing now.

Just curious, how much was it? Was it any cheaper for Florida residents? Stetson may be a better option.
