Financial Crime Investigation: A Practitioner’s Guide to Financial Crime Typologies and Investigative Techniques is a practical, authoritative guide for professionals working on the front lines of financial crime risk, compliance, and enforcement.

Designed for real-world application, this book explains how modern financial crimes are committed, concealed, and detected across financial systems, digital platforms, and organizational structures. It covers core crime types including money laundering, fraud, corruption, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, cyber-enabled crime, and crypto-asset abuse, while also addressing the role of insiders, professional facilitators, and cross-border networks.

Structured into clear, progressive sections, the book guides readers through investigative planning, evidence gathering, interviews, OSINT, forensic analysis, fund tracing, and sector-specific risk environments such as banking, real estate, gaming, public procurement, charities, and digital assets. Emphasis is placed on investigative judgment, defensible decision-making, and ethical practice - bridging the gap between regulatory expectations and operational reality.

Written in clear, practitioner-focused language, this book is designed for investigators, compliance and AML professionals, auditors, regulators, analysts, and students seeking a practical understanding of how financial crime actually works - and how to investigate it effectively.
