Lack of effective internal control, subpar financial reporting, and inefficient audits have all harmed an organization’s ability to operate efficiently. Organizations are now under pressure to enhance their auditing procedures in order to stop and catch fraud. Forensic accounting techniques have gained attention in this direction as a fraud identification and prevention tool. This study aims to examine the factors that affect an organization’s intention to adopt forensic accounting practices. The analysis is based on primary data and uses a sample of 273 employees from listed firms in Jordan to examine this phenomenon. Specifically, the study used correlation and regression analysis to investigate whether coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures determine organizations’ intentions to use forensic accounting practices. The results confirm a significant positive relationship between coercive, mimetic, and normative pressure and the organizations’ intentions to use forensic accounting practices among Jordanian firms. These results highlight the importance of management consultants and training of the employees for appropriate fraud risk management.
