Financial Document Analysis- Highlands County

Every serious investigation has a financial dimension. Bank records, credit card statements, business documents, wire transfers, and cash deposits all tell a story, but only if you know how to read them. Without proper financial document analysis, even the strongest fraud case falls apart. And this skill isn't just for financial crimes investigators. Drug cases, homicides, and sex crime investigations all benefit from following the money.

Financial Document Analysis is a full-day, in-person course that gives sworn law enforcement professionals the knowledge and step-by-step skills to find, analyze, organize, and document financial records in a way that holds up in court. From FinCEN records to bank statements to probable cause affidavits, this course covers the full workflow from opening a case file to closing it with a conviction.

Taught by a Certified Fraud Examiner and active Economic Crime Task Force supervisor, this class is built around practical application, not theory. Participants leave with a repeatable process they can apply to their next case.

Training Force USA is proud to partner with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, which is hosting this class and supporting regional law enforcement training excellence.
