The morning session builds on the initial Basic Investigation class by teaching advanced forensic accounting techniques to help investigators detect fraud through financial audits and investigate fraud by following the money. Participants will learn from investigative partners, participate in practical exercises to demonstrate new techniques, and learn the role of forensic accounting in proceedings, and criminal court. The afternoon session will cover advanced documentation and investigative report writing. We will cover the importance of concepts such as writing for your audience, using plain language, active voice and bottom line up front (BLUF). Participants will learn the importance of effective report writing and how to write reports that help bring investigations to trial. Finally, we will have a panel discussion where we will discuss lessons learned during joint Federal-Territorial investigations.
