The training teaches to the Core Body of Knowledge for the Master Analyst in Financial Forensics® (MAFF®) designation.

The highest growth areas of financial litigation are subject to their own variables that define the consultant’s role in the matter and the scope of analysis. Further, the legal theories underlying the various types of financial litigation focus on key statutes and case law that define the scope of damages.

Taught by some of the nation’s top minds and authorities in law, economics, valuation theory, expert witnessing, and litigation support, the training expounds on the legal foundations and the strategic and communication skills required of a forensic expert, and how to apply these skills in a litigation context.

Command of these fundamental concepts are key to providing services that will withstand the challenges of the litigation environment.

Make the statement that when it comes to financial litigation, you are the “Master” of the field.
