THE LATEST EDITION OF THE FORENSIC ACCOUNTING EDUCATOR NOW AVAILABLE!
VOLUME 12, NO. 1, SPRING 2022
Chih-Chen Lee, FA Section President
Greetings Forensic Accounting Section Members,
I hope this message finds you well. Most of you probably have gone back to the in-person teaching for the past two semesters. Me too, and I find that the in-person teaching is no longer the same as in the pre-COVID-19 period. I have to talk much louder so my voice can pass through the mask to reach students. I also record my in-person classes just in case students cannot attend classes. As I write this message, things are getting back to normal (well, at least as normal as it can be). As of mid-March 2022, we don’t have to wear the masks in class.
Even though we have not had an in-person conference since our midyear conference in Washington D.C. in March 2020, it is crucial that we remain connected and engaged.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Forensic Accounting Section (FAS) of the American Accounting Association is to foster excellence in the teaching, research, practice, continual professional education (CPE) courses and curriculum development of forensic accounting services by creating opportunities to:
- Create relevant and innovative curricula with an emphasis on effective and efficient instruction.
- Explore the knowledge-organization issues related to forensic accounting programs.
- Promote and disseminate forensic and investigative academic and practitioner research.
- Promote the practice of forensic accounting services understanding that these professions often intersect with other professions including: the law, criminology, sociology, psychology, intelligence, information technology (open sourcing, cyber-crime, digital evidence, data mining, and IT systems and control), computer forensics, and other forensic sciences.
- Create and present CPE courses to members and professionals.

JFAR Editor’s Message
As the incoming editor of the Journal of Forensic Accounting Research (JFAR), I take this opportunity to wish you a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous New Year! First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Charles Bailey for getting JFAR started and maintaining its good quality. My sincere gratitude is to the Forensic Accounting Section (FAS) of the AAA for reposing confidence in my scholarly abilities to serve as JFAR Editor.
As part of my priority tasks when taking on the JFAR helm, I am planning to continue prior efforts to expand the Journal’s scope while simultaneously improving the quality and enhancing the quantity of submissions. I know this is a tall order and therefore, I am looking for the collective support of the AAA Forensic Accounting Section in achieving this desirable outcome.
I expect to be in St. Louis for the 2019 Forensic Accounting Section Research Conference from March 1-2 and will seek your advice in developing an effective strategic plan for advancing and sustaining JFAR.
