Course Description
Embezzlement, graft, fraud and money laundering are among the hardest crimes to prosecute.
Investigation is impossible without an understanding of the law, accounting, finance, and banking procedures. Law enforcement must have the proper weapons to combat the evolving sophistication of financial crimes.
Financial Investigation and Forensic Accounting offers a thorough examination of current methods and legal concerns for the detection and prosecution of economic crime. The book guides law enforcement and prosecutors from detection through indictment and conviction.
The mechanics of gambling, fraud and money laundering are explained. You will learn how prosecutors present the tax codes, off-shore banking laws, and the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) statutes to judges and juries.
Financial Investigation and Forensic Accounting details the exacting legal standards for the successful execution of warrants, seizures and forfeitures.
This book provides an invaluable approach to the detection and prosecution of economic crime.
