As financial crimes become increasingly complex, understanding the financial intricacies of a case is crucial for defending clients effectively. This program introduces key concepts such as financial statements, cash flow analysis, forensic auditing techniques, and the identification of fraudulent schemes, providing attorneys with the foundational skills needed to navigate financial crime allegations. Whether you are defending against fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, or tax evasion charges, this program gives you the tools to understand the financial evidence at the heart of the case.
