Financial Investigator and Attorney Collaboration in Fraud Investigations

DESCRIPTION: This program provides a look into the investigative process behind uncovering fraud, whether as an attorney leading a civil or criminal investigation. Led by Certified Fraud Examiner Joseph Cox, the course guides attorneys through the practical, ethical, and collaborative aspects of fraud detection. Participants will learn how Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) approach investigations and how attorneys can work effectively with financial experts to build stronger cases. The course explores the psychology of offenders, victim dynamics, and the “fraud triangle” of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization. It also examines concealment methods, internal controls, and the importance of proactive risk management. Using real-world examples, the program highlights how financial evidence can be clearly presented to juries, how to translate complex data into understandable terms, and how to prepare witnesses. Whether you advise clients, prosecute fraud, or conduct internal investigations, this CLE offers practical strategies to improve collaboration between attorneys and financial investigators to mitigate risk and build solid cases.
