Hi,

It is used every around the world to protect public health, to enforce criminal laws and regulations and to resolve civil disputes.

It provides an accounting analysis suitable for court. Forensic accountants are trained to look beyond the numbers and deal with the business reality of a situation. They are frequently used in fraud cases.
To answer your question forensic accounting is related to investment banking in the way that large investment bankers like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs hire forensic accountants to assist them in financial complicated transactions like mergers, sale and company valuation.
Forensic accountants analyze, interpret and summarize complex financial and business matters.
