At its most basic level, fighting financial crime is about discovery — whether it’s suspicious transactions, fraudulent activities or identities that don’t match documentation. And sometimes that requires the kind of in-depth investigation that forensic accounting provides. Led by experts in the field, attendees will explore forensic fundamentals, illustrating how it differs from tools such as audits and how it can support AML. Then teams will plunge into real-life deep dives where forensic accounting went beneath the surface to crack the case.
