Practical Field Applications


 
The Investigation Training Institute was formed in 1989 to develop and present specialized training courses for private and public sector organizations to identify and combat the broad range of fraud schemes, financial crimes and business abuses.

Through step-by-step instructions, case studies and field guides, courses develop the organization discipline and the analytical skills necessary to prove complex frauds and financial crimes with admissible evidence in state and federal civil and criminal courts.

From the outset, the training philosophy has been to provide practical field applications and proven techniques for competent and thorough investigations and audits.  Methods resolve allegations in a timely and proficient manner for settlements or convictions by prioritizing major issues, key witnesses and essential documentation.

An understanding of the investigation methods set forth in these programs enhance the skills necessary to attack crimes for profit and "the paper chase" to reduce the frustration and cost associated with the management of complex cases.

Programs heighten investigation and audit performance, ethics and professionalism.  Programs exceed standards for Continuing Professional Education / CPE credits set by professions and associations to establish credentials, maintain proficiency and achieve certification status.
