Information

Follow the Money is an advanced training course of Forensic Accounting designed for those who want to learn how to read numbers in an investigative way and turn financial statements and financial data into concrete fraud analysis tools.

Most corporate frauds do not arise from major twists and turns, but from small anomalies repeated over time: 'adjusted' expenses, recurring suppliers, inconsistent cash flows, micro-conflicts of interest. Signals often invisible to a traditional reading, but evident to those who know where to look.

This course stems precisely from here: from the need to going beyond theory and learn how to use accounting as investigative leverage.

During the course, one does not just 'understand how to do it':
yes apply themoney flows are tracked, suspicious patterns are recognised, and a structured investigation strategy is built, including learning how to properly document the evidence that emerges.

Follow the Money is designed for professionals, consultants, auditors, risk managers, investigators, but also for those who work in administration or finance and want to acquire an new and concrete interpretation of numbers.

It is not a theoretical course for its own sake.
It is a learning experience that teaches you where the money goes - and because that is where the investigation begins.
