An effective financial investigation can disrupt terrorism organizations and interrupt, deter, or even stop operational terrorism activities before they can begin. In this three-day course, students develop an understanding of how financial systems are used to support terrorism activities and transnational criminal organizations. Students will work with tools and methods to investigate the manipulation of financial, communication, and business systems used for illicit purposes. Students will learn how to work with suspicious activity reports, crucial financial records such as Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) messaging, and records used in banking and money services businesses. They will also learn how to gather information and evidence on other means of value transfer methods associated with money laundering, the black-market peso and forms of trade-based money laundering, hawala, and other alternate remittance systems, and virtual assets (cryptocurrency).
Key concepts covered in this course include:
• Illicit finance
• Money laundering and trade-based money laundering
• Value transfer methods
• Critical thinking in case planning
Students who complete this course are eligible for 1.0 point toward the CECFE, 3CI, and 3CIA certifications.
Student Testimonials
“I was able to use the concepts learned in this course, apply associations based on 13 separate suspect interviews and arrests to develop links of suspects associations, some assets, and locations of catalytic converter sales. This visualization made it easier for the task force to determine which nodes had the most connections with others, resulting in concentrating resources to those suspects first. As a result, one spin off investigation has provided evidence of other crimes committed which will be referred to the proper jurisdictions.” -Anonymous
