During investigations, you will often find documents in different formats, making data analysis difficult and progress a challenge. Learning new Excel techniques for data cleaning is an essential step to transform this "chaos" into a clear and organized format.
Along with the data harvesting techniques you will learn in this course, you will be able to quickly identify suspicious transactions that might indicate illicit activity. This course is self-paced. You can start, take breaks, and continue at any time. It is structured in sessions that build on each other, so we recommend you start with Session 1. After completing the course, you will be eligible for a certificate of completion.
Note : If you are new to analysing financial data, we recommend you start with our course on Financial Analysis using Excel.

Open-source intelligence OSINT is a central element of most corruption and money laundering investigations. The information and evidence you can gather from publicly available sources can make the difference between a successful investigation and a dead end.
Through a simulated investigation, this course will help you learn the basics of how to prepare, conduct and report an OSINT undertaking. During the course you immerse yourself in a simulated investigation into the fishing vessel FV Malaga and its owner, the organisation Mossaman Commodities.
