The FIBA AFFI course is a two-day professional development course that will give financial professionals a broad and comprehensive overview and understanding of current techniques and skills dominant in the field of fraud and financial investigations.

“The AFFI course provides the knowledge financial professionals need for fraud prevention, detection and deterrence,” said Patricia Roth, Executive Director at FIBA. “It also provides financial fraud interviewing techniques and investigation methods.”

The experienced instructors, Dr. Delano Gray, a Certified Fraud Examiner himself and an instructor in the School of Accounting at Florida International University (FIU), and Mike Yasofsky, former head of Criminal Investigation for the IRS, will present the concepts of law, evidence of fraud, types of fraud schemes, forensic accounting and financial investigations, investigative planning and techniques, methods of tracing funds and methods of proving undisclosed income, along with numerous examples of fraud schemes.

This new course is tailored for both financial industry professionals as well as fraud investigators, including forensic accountants and fraud examiners, internal and independent auditors, loss prevention and security professionals, law enforcement and investigators, detectives and prosecutors, corporate investigators and security managers, business professionals interested in fraud detection and deterrence, and managers who want a more comprehensive understanding of fraud, among others.

“We anticipate a strong response to this training, from the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean,” said Roth. “The knowledge of investigative techniques that this course teaches in two days will add tremendous value to any financial institution. For the attendees, it may create an interest in earning the Certified Fraud Examiner professional designation.”
