Financial and Background Investigative Techniques
Participants will learn how to conduct in-depth background and financial investigations on individuals and business entities. Participants will gain practical knowledge and skills which can be used immediately to enhance their investigative efforts.

Especially beneficial for professionals not experienced in accounting or finance, the seminar presents discussions and exercises involving financial terminology, how an accounting system works, how to interpret and analyze financial statements, and how to gather important information from tax returns. The second and third days of the seminar focus on how to investigate the background and financial history of applicants and vendors. A case study will be introduced which involves various methods of obtaining background information, analysis of personal and business financial activity, basic interview techniques, and how to conduct investigations of applicants from foreign countries. Group exercises and discussions of relevant issues are an integral part of all sessions.
