Abstract: Judicial accounting outputs are reports that guide judges in conflicting parties over financial litigation, supporting judicial cases, and settling and resolving disputes. As a discipline, judicial accounting applies the science and knowledge of accounting, such as finance, taxation and auditing in the form in which the judicial accountant can provide his expert opinion, through the availability of a set of techniques in the field of fraud investigation and support of lawsuits, to investigate the allegations alleged by the relevant parties, especially those allegations related to the existence of fraud, as the objective of the judicial accountant will depend on the purpose of his assignment, including investigating the presence of fraud. The external auditor's reliance on the sampling method when checking financial disclosure and his lack of responsibility for detecting fraud highlights the importance of judicial accounting in detecting fraud by employing a set of techniques, to assist him in detecting fraud. The achievement of its objectives by the judicial accountant also requires set of characteristics such as education, training, diverse experience in the field of accounting, auditing and law, oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work in a team environment. Judicial accounting is based on a range of techniques, for instance, including Benford's law, computer-based audit tools, data mining and analysis to show the role of judicial accounting techniques in the judicial accountant’s awareness of his duties towards the external auditor in detecting fraud and its impact on developing his performance.
