Program Master Analyst in Financial Forensics™(MAFF™) Specialty Webinars:
Forensic Accounting

Co-Sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA) and The Financial Forensics Institute™(FFI)
Program Content Despite the chronic and compelling need for financial forensics and forensic accounting expertise, the accounting and financial professions have yet to embrace or even offer a cogent and comprehensive forensic accounting tools-based methodology. That deficiency has plagued our economy...until now. These Forensic Accounting Webinars of the MAFF curriculum are the most inclusive training in forensic accounting available to date. The Webinars provide a one-stop source of tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies applicable to virtually any large or small financial matter, whether civil-, criminal-, or dispute-related.

These Webinars are designed for both financial and non-financial professionals who require sophisticated investigative and analytical skills to stay abreast of increasing civil and criminal wrongdoer duplicity. Advanced skills are essential as people and money resources diminish. Those who complete the Webinars become qualified as Forensic Operators©...financial forensics-capable personnel who possess unique and specific skills, knowledge, experience, education, training, and integrity to function in the financial forensics discipline.

The Webinar content focuses on immediately usable and practical skills— not theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities. These Webinars define the financial forensics/forensic accounting profession: "The Art & Science of Investigating People & Money™." The Webinars define why: "If you understand financial forensics, you understand fraud, but not vice versa," by applying financial forensics to all aspects of the financial and non-financial communities for both civil and criminal purposes.

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 the newly published Financial Forensics Body of Knowledge, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., which serves as the course curriculum. It contains 560 pages, in addition to Internet-accessible forensic reports comprising another 400 pages. In addition, attendees receive preliminary access to the Academy's proprietary, contextually sensitive, Internet-based Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology© via a Process Map (patent-in-process). These Webinars include a 30-day trial version of the FA/IM Process Map.

The tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies apply to all subject matters ranging from a one-chair beauty salon to a global Fortune 500 company. The tools include an introduction to (alphabetical): application of aberrant pattern detection, behavior detection, CICO©, computer forensics, CRO (and its variants), delete windows, document maps, entity(s) charts, event analysis, facial mapping, financial profiling, forensic financial analysis, forensic lexicology (quantifying words), full-and-false inclusion, funds velocity techniques, genograms, ICE/SCORE©, informant development, Internet sleuthing, invigilation, laboratory analysis, Likert scaling, link analysis/root tracing MIMO, proxemics, QDE/FAB, rules of threes, stylometry, surveillance methods, TARTA/TITA/TDTA, undercover methods, and many others. The majority of techniques have been widely applied for decades, yet are virtually unknown to the financial community.

  • Part 1—Define, Demonstrate, and Deploy Financial Forensics in Your Practice Webinar
  • Part 2—Legal Theory and Case Law
