Course Overview

Models supporting financial forensic investigations fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. In finance the difference between a healthy position on the financial and banking practice capability and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this part of financial and banking practice improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Every module pairs a short input on financial forensic investigations with structured practice on the participant's own material. The difficulty is not agreeing that the wider financial and banking practice agenda matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The level assumes working familiarity with the business line but no prior formal training in this area of financial and banking practice. Participants finish able to explain financial forensic investigations to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of financial and banking practice that participants can apply the week they return. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within financial and banking practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
