Purpose and Goals

Eugenio María de Hostos Community College (HCC) and John Jay College of Criminal Justice propose to offer an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Accounting for Forensic Accounting as a jointly registered, dual admission program with the existing Bachelor of Science in Economics: Forensic Financial Analysis (B.S.) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (John Jay). Upon successful completion of the lower division at HCC, students will have a seamless transition to the upper division of the baccalaureate program at John Jay. The dual/joint program will offer increased educational opportunities for Hispanics, African Americans and other underrepresented minorities in the forensic accounting field who might otherwise be denied access to higher education. The collegial nature of the program will facilitate the transition to the professional portion of the curriculum. This proposed program addresses a recommendation of the Spellings Commission Report: “We want postsecondary institutions to adapt to a world altered by technology, changing demographics and globalization, in which the higher-education landscape includes new providers and new paradigms, from for-profit universities to distance learning.”[1]

The proposed program will afford Hostos graduates, nearly all of whom are minority students traditionally underrepresented as professionals in management, business, and financial operations occupations the opportunity and encouragement to succeed in these fields.

Need

Several factors have driven this program's development. First, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for individuals with an accounting background is expected to increase faster than average through 2016[2]. With the increasing number of white collar crimes, there is growing demand for individuals who have additional expertise in the detection and prevention of fraud and other financial crimes. Second, in spite of numerous organizations and committees whose mission is to encourage and assist minority entrance in accounting fields, Hispanics and African-Americans are still underrepresented in management, business, and financial operations occupations. Third, the Hispanic population nationwide is now estimated at 15.1%[3] but the percentage of Hispanics in the 16th Congressional District (the South Bronx) is estimated at 63%[4]. Furthermore, 42.70%[5] of the residents of the South Bronx are below the poverty level compared to 19.2% in New York City and 14.2% in New York State[6]. This proposed program will provide HCC students with the ability to prepare for a baccalaureate degree program in forensic accounting and seek employment in management, business, and financial operations occupations.

Finally, Hostos is continuing its college-wide curricular revitalization and renewal to enable its students to more effectively compete in this increasingly complex workforce.

Forensic Accounting

Forensic accountants are specially trained to identify evidence of fraud, investigate fraud, provide litigation support, and to prevent fraud. The education required combines knowledge of accounting principles and finance, law and investigation techniques, theories of criminology and ethics. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) which has been in existence since 1988 and currently has more than 20,000 members world-wide established a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential to provide individuals with evidence of expertise in the identification and prevention of fraud. The demand for accountants with this expertise has increased dramatically. With the growing problems on Wall Street, firms are hiring forensic accountants to determine what went wrong, who is at fault, where the assets are and what damages will be incurred. This increase in demand has been corroborated by a recent survey conducted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The results were reported at the 2008 AICPA National Accounting Conference on Fraud and Litigation Services: “Sixty-eight percent of the 5,400 members of the AICPA's Forensic Valuation Services Section who were polled say their forensic practices have grown over the past year. Of those respondents who reported increased demand, 67 percent cited computation of economic damages as the leading reason, followed by marital disputes (56 percent), and investigations of financial statement fraud (54 percent).”[7] Further evidence of the growing need is that the AICPA announced at the conference that it will offer a new credential, Certified in Financial Forensics.

White Collar Crime

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) maintains a division exclusively dedicated to investigating and prosecuting white collar crime, such as money laundering, securities and commodities fraud, bank fraud and embezzlement, environmental crimes, fraud against the government, health care fraud, election law violations, copyright violations, and telemarketing fraud. In general, the FBI focuses on organized crime activities that are international, national, or regional in scope where the FBI can bring to bear unique expertise or capabilities that increase the likelihood of a successful investigation and prosecution. In the health care fraud area, the FBI targets systemic abuses, such as large-scale billing fraud that is national or regional in scope and fraudulent activities that threaten the safety of patients. The FBI pursues financial institution fraud involving $100,000 or more. In cases of telemarketing and insurance fraud, the FBI will generally become involved when there is evidence of nationwide or international activities. The number of agents investigating corporate and other securities, commodities, and investment fraud cases has increased 47 percent, from 177 in 2001 to more than 250 today. Since 2007, there have been more than 1,700 pending corporate, securities, commodities, and investment fraud cases, an increase of 37 percent since 2001.[8]

Occupational Growth

The outlook for accountants, in general, and especially for those with a forensic background is excellent. According to the latest edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook: “Employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow by 18 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations. This occupation will have a very large number of new jobs arise, almost 226,000 over the projections decade. Changing financial laws and corporate governance regulations, and increased accountability for protecting an organization’s stakeholders will drive growth. Increased focus on and numbers of financial crimes such as embezzlement, bribery, and securities fraud will increase the demand for forensic accountants to detect illegal financial activity by individuals, companies, and organized crime rings”.[9]

In particular, employment prospects for the New York City region through 2014 for occupations related to the academic preparation offered by this proposed joint degree program are considered very favorable. As can be seen from the table below, the financial management occupations all require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree which provides additional rationale for HCC to collaborate with John Jay to offer this joint degree. Further, John Jay’s program at the upper division states that “graduates will meet the educational requirements and will have covered all four parts tested by the CFE exam; Criminology & Ethics, Financial Transactions & Fraud Schemes, Legal Elements of Fraud and Fraud Investigation.”[10]

Underrepresented Groups in the Financial Operations Workforce

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA), and the National Association of Black Accountants all have initiatives designed to encourage and assist minority entrance in accounting fields. In spite of this, Hispanics and African-Americans are still underrepresented in management, business, and financial operations occupations. The table below provides a comparison of the percent of minority employment in these fields for 2007.

|Occupation |Total employed (in|Percent of Total |

| |thousands) | |

| | |Women |Black or African|Asian |Hispanic or |

Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics:

The job outlook for these occupations is excellent, and a large pool of potential talent remains untapped. This proposed program seeks to increase the diversity of this field. The business environment continues to project a critical need for accounting and finance professionals and accounting firms as well as government organizations report significant demand for individuals with forensic accounting preparation. In today’s economic climate, forensic accountants are in demand not just to identify fraud but to help prevent it.[11]

Students

The A.S. Program in Accounting for Forensic Accounting is designed to attract students who have an interest in pursuing a career in accounting with the goal of specializing in Forensic Accounting.

There is a large untapped source of students in the south Bronx who can benefit from this type of program, especially in light of the excellent job outlook. The Hostos Office of Admissions will aggressively market the proposed program to Bronx high schools and will be able to recruit students interested in preparing for careers in financial management and operations occupations.

The Hostos-Lincoln Academy will also be a source of students for the college. In addition to the Hostos Lincoln Academy, the College Now Program will be another source of students for this program. Students will be recruited directly from accounting courses offered through the program.

We also expect that some students will transfer to Hostos because of marketing at major recruitment functions, in brochures and on the Hostos web site. Finally, we expect that this program will be popular among students currently enrolled at Hostos and anticipate a slight shift from other majors to this program.
