How to build a strong financial crime investigation

Investigating financial crime is about knowing where to look, what questions to ask, and how to connect the dots. Strong investigations test the effectiveness of AML controls, produce credible intelligence, and help identify and disrupt criminal activity. As financial crime becomes more complex, organisations need investigations that are structured, risk based and grounded in sound judgment. 

Join Wayne Haynes, Global Lead, Financial Crime Compliance at the ICA, for a practical discussion on how to build strong financial crime investigations, drawing on perspectives from AML professionals, the public sector, and investigative journalism. The panel will share insights shaped by real cases, real constraints, and real decision making. 

The live webinar will explore:  

• How to think like an investigator: the key skills and mindset that underpin strong financial crime investigations. 
• Roles and collaboration: the roles of investigators and other stakeholders from the public and private sectors and civil society, with a focus on collaboration, as well as the challenges and limitations that arise in practice. 
• Investigation frameworks: how to set the strategy, governance, and tools needed to complete a financial crime investigation effectively. 
• Information and evidence gathering: develop methods and tools to acquire relevant information from human and electronic sources, including OSINT. 
• Testimonies, statements, and interviews: the processes and procedures involved, and how these inputs strengthen the overall case, including connecting the dots. 
• Reports and outcomes: how to compile initial, internal, and external reports, including SARs.
