Working in financial crime investigations typically requires advanced qualifications like a bachelor’s degree and knowledge of investigative principles and practices. Many employers prefer candidates with previous experience in conducting specific, relevant kinds of investigations, such as those involving insurance claims. Earning certifications like Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) can expand your opportunities. You should also be very familiar with privacy and other related laws and regulations as they pertain to financial and insurance institutions, and you need to be detail-oriented with great analytical and communication skills.
