In this work, forensic accounting and fraud management strategies in Saudi Arabia are examined based on the information obtained by administering 120 questionnaires to the industry professionals representing an electricity company, a cement company, and a telecommunications company, as well as the academics from the accounting and the law department of King Khalid University. The obtained results indicate a significant difference in the duties performed by external financial auditors and forensic accountants. However, in both cases, effective tools are needed for uncovering fraudulent practices, including asset misappropriation and insider transactions.

This research paper analyzes the crucial importance of cybersecurity in protecting financial data in the accounting profession in the context of increasing cyber threats. As accounting firms face a rising number of cyber-attacks, the implementation of stringent security measures is imperative. This study employs qualitative analysis, comprising case studies and expert interviews, to examine the integration of advanced cybersecurity technologies, including AI, blockchain, and encryption, by major firms such as Deloitte, PwC, and EY into their operations. The findings underscore the efficacy of multi-layered security strategies in improving data protection and fraud detection, although challenges such as elevated costs and the swift evolution of threats remain. The study examines the influence of cybersecurity on accounting practices, highlighting enhancements in data integrity and client trust, while emphasizing the necessity for ongoing training and interdisciplinary knowledge. Ethical and regulatory considerations are examined, emphasizing adherence to international standards. This study concludes with recommendations for professionals, educators, and policymakers, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing innovation and vigilance to safeguard financial data in the digital era.
