The Journal of Forensic Accounting: Auditing, Fraud, and Risk (more commonly Journal of Forensic Accounting or JFA) is an academic journal published semi-annually for the advancement and professional development of the practice of investigative and forensic accounting.

The journal covers topics such as forensic accounting, fraud investigation, corporate scandal and white-collar crime, among others.[1]

The journal received a rating of "B - Quality" from the Australian Business Deans Council,[2] which places it as a "well regarded journal in the field", although with higher acceptance rates than those with higher rankings.[3] It has received a similar ranking from the University of Texas at Arlington Accounting Department.[4]

The journal has commissioned two books to be published as special supplements to the periodical. These supplements were included free of charge to certain subscribers when they were published[5], and are also available individually:

  • Forensic Accounting in Matrimonial Divorce (James A. DiGabriele)[6]
  • Expert Witnessing in Forensic Accounting (Walter J. Pagano and Thomas A. Buckhoff)[7]

The editor-in-chief is D. Larry Crumbley, CPA, Cr.FA, CFFA, FCPA, the KPMG Endowed Professor at Louisiana State University.[8]

The journal is indexed in the Accounting and Tax Index, an index of ProQuest.

The journal is available through print subscription as well as through archival CDs.[9]
