Abstract

This study examined the political and environmental factors as determinants to apply forensic accounting in the North-Western states of Nigeria. The study utilized primary data through the administration of questionnaires. Partial least squares (PLS) path modeling (using smart PLS3 statistical software) was employed for the main analysis. The findings of the study indicated that both political and environmental factors are positively related to applying forensic accounting in these states. The study recommended that all political office holders and other government personnel should, even with the change of government, use their powers to ensure the right way to move forward and the continuity of state policies to apply forensic accounting. State governments should also provide an enabling environment for the applicability of forensic accounting through the provision of the required infrastructure to carry out the forensic services smoothly.
