Program Syllabus/Curriculum

  • The course provides an interactive overview of the money laundering and asset forfeiture investigative process. 

    The course includes a simulated case investigation that takes course participants through a maze of transactions specifically designed to conceal and disguise the source, location, and ownership of illegal proceeds.   With that information, the participants will utilize criminal and financial investigative techniques to identify the witnesses and evidence that will be used to prove each of the elements of a money laundering violation and perfect the related asset forfeiture.

    The investigation of the simulated case is interspersed with relevant blocks of instruction that augments the investigator’s current investigative skills and leads to a successful conclusion to the investigation.  The blocks of instruction includes:

    • Identifying money laundering targets.
    • A review of The Bank Secrecy Act.
    • An analysis of the Elements of the Money Laundering Control Act statutes and their application to a simulated investigation.
    • The fundamentals of Asset Forfeiture and Tracing of Funds.
