Basic Threat Finance

This course is designed as an introduction to threat finance and how illicit actors raise, move, store, and use money and items of value. The course will describe the business and financial elements available worldwide and how those systems are leveraged by criminal and terrorist networks. Students will not only gain knowledge of money laundering processes in financial systems but in other systems such as trade-based money laundering and cryptocurrency. Students will be presented with a real-life scenario requiring analysis of financial and business documents, track illicit activities, and report out results. The target audience in this training is law enforcement officers, detectives, agents, supervisors, and analysts assigned to narcotics, gangs, human trafficking, or specialized units.
