Description:
Numbers tell a story—but behavior reveals the truth. In this webinar, Erin teaches investigators how to identify deception in financial crime cases by analyzing behavioral cues, communication patterns, narrative shifts, and operational inconsistencies. Drawing from real-world experience in intelligence and financial institutions, she breaks down how criminals construct cover stories, conceal risk, and adapt when pressured.
