The Advanced Forensic Accounting Clinic™ (AFAC™) is intended for advanced financial forensics operators. Operators qualify as advanced based upon completion of the Forensic Accounting Master Analyst in Financial Forensics (MAFF) Specialty Webinars or by virtue of their advanced and continued individual skill, knowledge, experience, education, or training.

The intensive two-day format is tailored to each AFAC’s attendee composition. Therefore, each attendee leaves with immediately usable forensic tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies applicable to their respective client assignments. Each AFAC attendee also receives a copy of Financial Forensics Body of Knowledge, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (if a copy was not previously provided with attendance at the Forensic Accounting Specialty Webinars). This book serves as part of the AFAC curriculum.

Further, each attendee receives up to two hours of post-AFAC, no-charge personal consultation with an instructor in support of one assignment. This feature must be accessed within 60 days of completion of the Clinic and is, of course, subject to clearing professional conflict.

The AFAC content is designed for both financial and non-financial professionals who require an introduction to sophisticated investigative and analytical skills to stay aware of increasing civil and criminal wrongdoer duplicity. Prior non-financial AFAC attendees have included attorneys, attorneys general, journalists, law enforcement (federal [FBI, DOJ, IRS], state [state police] and local [city and county detectives]), prosecutors (federal, state, and local), and regulators (SEC [compliance and enforcement], OSC), among others.

Advanced forensic skills are essential as people and money resources diminish. Those who complete AFAC are on the path to becoming qualified as Forensic Operators©…financial forensics-capable personnel who possess unique and specific skills, knowledge, experience, education, training, and integrity to succeed in the financial forensics discipline. Further, AFAC can help meet the experience requirement to obtain the MAFF credential.

AFAC content focuses on immediately usable and practical skills—not theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities. The skills comprise some of the 300+ tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies imbedded within a proprietary, Internet-based, hyperlinked methodology, i.e. FA/IM© (Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology©). The 300+ financial forensics/forensic accounting tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies are offered nowhere else and in no other programs throughout the U.S.

FA/IM is the only financial forensics/forensic accounting methodology published by the United States Department of Justice and the American Bar Association. Attendees receive preliminary access to the Academy’s proprietary, contextually sensitive, Internet-based Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology© via a Process Map (patent-in-process).
