Course Details
Financial Intelligence in a Digital World focuses on field-tested investigative methods and the operational discipline required to conduct effective financial investigations in today’s technology-driven environment. This session explores how modern financial intelligence tools and interagency casework strengthen investigative acumen and professionalism across agencies. Participants will be introduced to blockchain-enabled investigative capabilities through TRM Labs, demonstrating how transaction tracking at the individual address level and intuitive visual analytics can support actionable disruptions and measurable mission outcomes in the public sector. The session also features real-world case studies, including an FBI New York City examination of how cartels launder money and target the U.S. fentanyl supply chain, highlighting the intersection of financial flows and transnational crime. An additional case study from IRS Criminal Investigation is planned to further reinforce practical approaches and lessons learned from complex financial investigations, rounding out a comprehensive look at financial intelligence in the digital age.
