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.
