摘要

Corporate governance serves as the foundation for ethical, transparent, and accountable organizational management. However, persistent issues of financial misstatements and fraudulent activities expose systemic vulnerabilities within governance frameworks, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance oversight mechanisms. This research investigates the integration of forensic accounting a specialized field combining investigative expertise, advanced accounting techniques, and legal acumen into corporate governance practices as a strategy to mitigate financial irregularities and strengthen organizational resilience. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes real-world applications and case studies of forensic accounting in diverse organizational contexts. Key findings demonstrate that forensic accounting significantly enhances fraud detection and prevention, fortifies internal controls, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. Despite its efficacy, limitations such as the resource-intensive nature of forensic practices and the need for skilled professionals may restrict its widespread adoption in smaller organizations. The research provides practical implications by offering actionable recommendations for integrating forensic accounting into governance frameworks and presenting insights for policymakers to incorporate forensic practices into governance standards. On a societal level, it underscores the role of robust governance in fostering stakeholder trust and contributing to broader economic stability. This study advances academic understanding of the intersection between forensic accounting and corporate governance, addressing the limitations of traditional governance approaches and supporting the development of systems that prioritize ethical conduct, transparency, and accountability in an era of increasing financial complexities and regulatory scrutiny.
