NEW DELHI: BML Munjal University (BMU), founded by The Hero Group, has entered into an agreement with KPMG to provide training in ‘Forensic Accounting and Corporate Fraud’ to students of the university's recently-launched full-time MBA programme in accounting and finance. BMU has said it will be the first university in India to offer an MBA with a specialisation in forensic accounting and corporate fraud.

As a part of the agreement, KPMG will prepare the course structure, develop content, make suitable technical faculties available to participants.

In addition, KPMG will also provide the students access to its LMS (Learning Management System) support covering the sessions' videos and presentations, features like 'Ask An Expert' and assessments.

"The specialisation will be the first-of-its-kind course in India. I believe that together, we can develop a world-class programme to fulfill a deficit in professional manpower in the area of forensic accounting," Sunil Kant Munjal, chancellor, BML Munjal University, said in a statement.

Akhil Bansal, deputy CEO, KPMG added: “There has been a rise in the intensity and level of corporate fraud globally and it has been a challenge to pre-empt such white collar crimes on several occasions. I am hopeful that this course will help in building a brigade of professionals who are equipped to fight this."
