From Fraud Incident to Criminal Network

An Intelligence-Led Approach to Financial Crime Investigations

Financial crime investigations frequently begin with individual incidents, transactions, or subjects.

Topics

  • Moving beyond individual incidents
  • Identifying relationships and criminal networks
  • Combining internal and external intelligence
  • Human-source intelligence
  • Fraud and financial crime convergence
  • Intelligence gaps and collection requirements
  • Public-private and law-enforcement collaboration
  • Converting intelligence into investigative action

Available Formats

  • 30-minute executive briefing
  • 45–60 minute conference presentation
  • 90-minute professional seminar
  • Half-day workshop
  • Full-day investigator training
  • Customized corporate program

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize indicators that apparently isolated fraud incidents may form part of a broader criminal network.
  2. Apply intelligence-led techniques to identify relationships among subjects, entities, infrastructure, and criminal activity.
  3. Identify intelligence gaps and collection opportunities that can support investigation, escalation, and law-enforcement collaboration.
