Abstract: This study aimed at exploring factors implanted in the successful implementation of forensic accounting emphasizing both organizational and people derived factors. Organizational factors were limited to information technology solutions and creative accounting practices, while people factor was related to knowledge, skills, and experience. Prior research was reviewed for two purposes. First, to lay the foundations of research theoretical framework and hypotheses development. Second, to develop the questionnaire of the study by which the required data were gathered. A sample of academicians and practitioners comprising 120 participants was purposively selected. A total of 107 responses were used in the statistical phase, which was carried out with IBM SPSS and AMOS. The results showed that information technology solutions, absence of creative accounting practices, forensic accounting education, forensic accounting training, and forensic accountants’ experiences were significant predictors of the successful implementation of forensic accounting. Based on the results, this study contributes to the literature of forensic accounting by providing evidence on organizational and human factors that affect the successful implementation of forensic accounting. In addition, the results offer insightful educational and managerial implications. Universities, organizations, and accounting firms are recommended to consider the suggested model in order to elevate their implanting of forensic accounting efforts to detect fraud crimes.
