Critical thinking is a necessary skill for any type of investigation, research, or scientific inquiry. The analytical processes employed by forensic accountants are based on a scientific approach. This involves (1 ) identifying a question, (2 ) gathering sufficient relevant data, (3 ) analyzing the data, (4 ) drawing conclusions, and (5 ) communicating results. In this context, critical thinking serves as a guiding frame to preserve the integrity of the scientific process. Various threats to the integrity of this process are manifested in the concept of "blind spots." Blind spots are caused by mistakes in reasoning, human irrationality, biases, distortions, and self-interest. Exercising critical thinking can help in the detection of blind spots.
