This question in the chapter of the forensic accounting legal environment:
Why does the hearsay rule exist? When are exceptions to the hearsay rule allowed? Is there any consistency between the rule and exceptions; in other words, can you devise an explanation as to why allowing exceptions to the hearsay rule does not vilolate the rationale for it?
Question from the text book: Hopwood, W. S. (2012). Forensic accounting and fraud examination. New York: McGraw-Hill.
