This course is for investigators and analysts who are not accountants but who must analyze complex financial manipulations performed to disguise and transfer money gained from illegal activities. The course provides instruction in financial profiling techniques that can be employed to identify concealed income and potential money laundering, identifying indicators of financial manipulation, as well as techniques for tracing money through businesses and financial institutions. Numerous in-class exercises provide hands-on practice in all techniques. All techniques taught in the course can be applied without the use of computers or software applications. However, those who do use computers in their analytical work are welcome to bring laptops to the course and to use applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, and other analytical programs (such as i2 Analyst's Notebook) for completing in-class and practical exercises and for presenting the results of their analyses.
