With the increasing cases of misappropriation, ghost workers, inflated contracts, and lack of adherence to budgetary control, forensic accounting is recognized as a crucial mechanism for ensuring organizational accountability and regulatory compliance. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data collection through structured questionnaires with qualitative interviews conducted among financial officers, auditors, and forensic accounting experts within KWSUBEB. The sample population includes internal and external auditors, financial analysts, and select administrative staff responsible for financial oversight. Key findings indicate that forensic accounting significantly enhances the effectiveness of corporate governance by uncovering financial irregularities, identifying lapses in internal control systems, and promoting transparency in decision-making processes. The analysis reveals that institutions like KWSUBEB that integrate forensic accounting practices into their financial control systems are better positioned to prevent and investigate fraudulent activities. The study concludes that forensic accounting plays a pivotal role in strengthening governance structures, improving financial integrity, and restoring public trust in government agencies. Recommendations are made for government and institutional policymakers to adopt forensic accounting practices across all levels of governance, provide continuous professional development for accountants, and enforce stringent audit procedures to ensure accountability in public finance management.
