Fraud Detection and Prevention for Investigators Series
White collar crime is one of the greatest challenges facing law enforcement professionals throughout all levels of government. It’s estimated that white collar crime costs the U.S. economy anywhere between $400 billion and $1 trillion per year*. Because it’s hard to detect and often goes unreported, it remains a persistent, costly issue that affects government operations and the economy at large.
Those who serve in the roles of Special Agents, Investigators, Inspectors, Crime Prevention Specialists and Forensic Auditors must be equipped with distinct understanding, awareness and expertise to follow the money and uncover this often-invisible threat.
