Recent Training Events and Articles

Posted on December 12, 2014

I was fortunate to be asked by the UNODC to design and instruct a course on the analysis of financial statements.  The course was to serve as a template for future UNODC anti-corruption training.  I delivered the course Dec 01-05 to investigators from the Uganda Inspectorate of Government in Kampala.  The training was very successful and the students were awesome. It was a quick trip and very rewarding...except that my credit card was skimmed somewhere along the way...drat.

I also had a couple articles published in December.  Both pertain to diamonds, money laundering, and compliance.  Check them out:
