Forensic Accounting Clinic™
Co-Sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts™, the Financial Forensics Academy™, and financialforensics®

Program Content

Co-Sponsored by the Financial Forensics Academy^™, the Forensic Accounting Clinic^™ (Clinic) is an abbreviated version of the Master Analyst in Financial Forensics (MAFF) Workshop: Forensic Accounting Academy^™ (Academy). Its two-day format permits limited exposure to overall Academy content, yet enables attendees to leave with immediately useable tools and prepares them for the full Academy.

The Clinic content is designed for both financial and non-financial professionals who require an introduction to sophisticated investigative and analytical skills to stay aware of increasing civil and criminal wrongdoer duplicity. Advanced skills are essential as people and money resources diminish. Those who complete the Clinic are on the path to becoming 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. Further, this Clinic can help meet the experience requirement to obtain the Master Analyst in Financial Forensics^™ (MAFF^™) credential.

The Clinic defines the financial forensics/forensic accounting profession: “The Art & Science of Investigating People & Money^™.” It defines 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.

The Clinic content focuses on immediately useable and practical skills—NOT theory. Attendees will immediately deploy their skills upon return to their responsibilities. The skills comprise some of the 300+ tools, techniques, methods and methodologies embedded within a proprietary Internet-based hyperlinked methodology, i.e. FA/IM^© (Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology^©). The 300+ financial forensics/forensic accounting tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies are offered nowhere else and in no other programs throughout the U.S.

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 preliminary access to the Financial Forensics Academy’s proprietary contextually sensitive Internet-based Forensic Accounting/Investigation Methodology^© via a Process Map patent-in-process.

Details

Day 1: Financial Forensic/Forensic Accounting Tools, Techniques, and Methodologies

This course provides an introduction to tools and techniques that will help you detect fraud that is impacting your clients. Often fraud is only found after it has become a major issue for the company, but these tools are a simple way for you to run numbers on a timely basis and determine if you and your client should be concerned and pursue further. Other tools discussed simplify the forensic process making solving the fraud puzzle easier.

After completing this course, attendees will be able to:

Explain the criticality and deployment of the three major financial forensics methodologies
Differentiate the four phases, 13 stages, and 5 actions per stage for FA/IM^©
Apply 10-15 foundational techniques as the springboard to deploying the remaining 300 +/- techniques

Day 2: Commonly Applied Financial Forensic/Forensic Accounting Tools

This course takes all the tools and techniques you learned in Day 1 to another level. You will continue to be exposed to new tools that can be used, but you will also be shown how to use these tools in a manner that will benefit your clients as well as your business. You will put together a plan that can be used every day with every client to protect them from fraud. And you will learn how to manipulate the information in such a way that you can pass this plan onto others at your company so they can also use it to protect their clients.

After completing this course, attendees will be able to:

Train others in their organization with respect to the foundational techniques
Identify their professional responsibilities regardless of financial or non-financial responsibilities
Implement a continuous means of maintaining technical currency as new tools, techniques, methods and methodologies are formalized
