The promise of AI in accounting is everywhere. From streamlined bookkeeping to automated reconciliations, artificial intelligence is transforming how financial professionals work.

While general-purpose AI tools excel at routine tasks, they often lack the depth and rigor that forensic investigations demand, especially for high-stakes investigations—fraud cases, litigation support, business valuation disputes, regulatory audits.

The difference isn't just about speed or efficiency. It's about the fundamental requirements of forensic work: traceability, defensibility, and the ability to reconstruct complex financial narratives from incomplete or deliberately obscured data. 

This comprehensive guide examines the current AI landscape through the lens of what types of tools are needed and meet the requirements of forensic accounting. 

The guide includes:

• Section 1: The Current AI Landscape in Accounting
• Section 2: What Forensic Accountants Actually Need
• Section 3: Where Purpose-Built Forensic AI Makes the Difference
• Section 4: Case Study - A Nonprofit School Embezzlement Investigation
