TWELVE Financial Crime Investigation and Report Writing Workshop - Seneca College - 11-12 December 2021
On 11-12 December 2021, the TWELVE Financial Crime Program led a 2 day workshop for 14 students on the Intelligence Apprenticeship stream on Seneca College’s BA Crime and Intelligence Analysis (CIA) degree program.
The workshop - TWELVE Financial Crime Investigation and Report Writing Workshop - aimed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to complete a financial crime investigation as found in a Canadian financial institution. The students were introduced to key concepts of financial crime investigation and report writing, followed by a simulation exercise where the students completed an investigation and produced a report.
Over the course of 2 days, the students were given inputs on the following topics:
Fundamentals of Money Laundering
Terrorist Financing and Investigations
Fundaments of Fraud
Investigation Best Practices
Critical Thinking
Risk Assessment and Risk-Based Decisioning
Communication Skills
Presentation Skills
Report Writing
On the second day, the students engaged in a simulation exercise where they were presented with a mock Unusual Activity Report (UAR) and raw supporting documentation; the students then had to produce an investigation report based on their learning.
The submitted report was the assessed and feedback was given. After completing the workshop, students received their Certificate of Completion and Digital Badge.
