FORENSIC ACCOUNTING APPROACH IN COMBATING WILDLIFE CRIMES

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the important role of forensic accounting in unravelling illicit financial flows and examine wildlife crime by investigating the complex networks associated with this illicit trade. Crimes against wildlife encompass a range of illegal activities, including the illegal collection and hunting, smuggling and trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna. Financial intelligence units (FIUs) can use forensic accounting techniques to effectively analyse financial transactions, identify money laundering mechanisms and support comprehensive investigations. Drawing on case studies, academic literature and current practice, this research demonstrates the importance of forensic accounting in combating crimes against wildlife. It highlights the need for inter-agency cooperation, strategic risk assessment, advanced analytical tools and strategic partnerships with civil society organisations. The results of this study aim to contribute to the development of robust strategies to address crimes against wildlife, strengthen financial investigations and mitigate the environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with this illegal trade.
