I am Neeraj Bhanwariwal member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. I am very much interested in doing the course i.e. "Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection".I am writing you this because I have some queries regarding the course and wanted that the queries should be resolved before I registered myself for the course.
The queries that I have are as follows:-
1) What are the opportunities for me in India after getting certification ?
2) Course duration is of 6 days, so after getting certification whether ICAI has organised some Campus for the eligible candidates or not ?
3) What is the future scope mainly related to jobs ?
Hope you reply to me as soon as possible. Waiting for your response.

It is a new horizon coming up and one needs to take a RISK. Uncertainity is very much there but the scope seems to be quite bright when compared with the European and US forensic accountants. All the best.
There is currently no particular University offered course avaialable in India.
However, basic certifications are provided by ICAI and Pune based Indiaforensic (www.indiaforensic.com)
If you wist to study forensic accounting in detailed manner you have no choice but to pursue this overseas. I am providing the top 5 globally recognised institutions below:
