Case Studies in Follow the Money Investigations

A “Follow the Money” investigations course typically focuses on the techniques and strategies used to trace financial transactions, identify sources of funding, and uncover hidden assets in various contexts such as financial crimes, corruption, money laundering, and illicit activities.

Students will learn how to analyze financial documents, track money flows, utilize financial tools and software, conduct open source intelligence (OSINT) research, and collaborate with law enforcement agencies and financial institutions.

The course may cover topics such as asset tracing, cryptocurrency investigations, international money laundering schemes, and the legal frameworks related to financial investigations.

By the end of the course, students can expect to have a solid understanding of how to follow financial trails effectively, navigate complex financial networks, and contribute to solving cases that involve following the money.
