Forensic Accounting Academy©
Co-Sponsored by the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts® (NACVA®), Financial Forensics Academy™, and financialforensics®
The Art & Science of Investigating People & Money©
Despite the chronic and compelling need for financial forensics and forensic accounting expertise, the accounting and financial professions have yet to embrace or even offer a cogent and comprehensive forensic accounting toolsbased methodology. That deficiency has plagued our economy…until now. The Forensic Accounting Academy© (Academy) is the most all-inclusive training in forensic accounting available to date. The intensive and handson, training provides a one-stop source of 300+ tools, techniques, methods, and methodologies applicable to virtually any large or small financial matter, whether civil, criminal, or dispute, and defines the financial forensics/ forensic accounting profession: “The Art & Science of Investigating People & Money©.”
The Academy centers around the Forensic Accounting Investigation Methodology© (FAIM©), a proprietary Internet-based hyperlinked methodology which delivers immediately useable and practical skills—NOT theory—that attendees will immediately deploy upon return to their responsibilities. This primer is ideal for CPAs, law enforcement (federal, state, local), regulators, investigators, agents, attorneys, prosecutors, business advisors, bankers, fiduciaries, and business owners—in short, those who may not intend to focus a practice on financial forensics yet want to understand the applicability of the discipline in their pursuits.
After completing this academy, attendees will be able to:
-
Establish financial forensics/forensic accounting as the financial “supra” discipline
-
Differentiate forensic accounting from mere “fraud” analysis
-
Determine appropriate methods and tools for interviewing, interrogation, and behavior detection skills
-
Discern the characteristics and the behavior of virtually any data set under investigation
-
Identify and integrate proven and effective forensic accounting skills in your practice
