Advanced Financial Investigation and Operational Intelligence Analysis

Course overview

Financial investigations increasingly require investigators and analysts to integrate transactional information, financial records, corporate intelligence, open-source information and intelligence from multiple sources to identify the movement and control of illicit proceeds.

This Advanced Financial Investigation and Operational Intelligence Analysis course is designed for professionals engaged in complex financial crime investigations and intelligence development. It provides an integrated framework for following financial flows, identifying beneficiaries and facilitators, reconstructing transactions, analysing networks and developing actionable operational intelligence.
