Ever gotten suspicious when your sibling “couldn’t remember” spending $20 from your shared snack fund? If you’ve got a nose for sniffing out what doesn’t add up, you might already have the instincts of a forensic accountant.

In the real world, catching fraud isn’t about solving mysteries like you’re in a true crime podcast (though, yes, it can be just as thrilling). It’s about using curiosity, logic and data to uncover what others might miss—like financial inconsistencies, shady patterns or even large-scale corruption.

In this video from PwC’s Accountants have impACCT series, you’ll learn that accountants do way more than crunch numbers—they protect companies, communities and entire economies from financial harm. In this episode, you’ll meet professionals who investigate fraud and make a real difference using tech, teamwork and sharp thinking.

Fraud might try to hide in the shadows, but accountants like you? You’re trained to shine a light on the truth.
