COURSE OVERVIEW
Without proper financial document analysis, a fraud investigation goes nowhere. There are abundant sources of financial information available on individuals and businesses that can help you build and prove your case.
Financial analysis extends far beyond traditional fraud cases — it can reveal critical links in drug, homicide, and sex crime investigations.
This hands-on class walks investigators through a step-by-step process for identifying, analyzing, and documenting financial evidence, using real-world investigative techniques. Learn how to locate hidden assets, follow the money, and properly document your findings in reports and affidavits.
🎯 CLASS OBJECTIVES
By the end of this training, participants will understand how to:
- Define financial document analysis and its application to multiple case types.
