Forgery is one of the most feared (and underrated) financial crimes -- and it's a crime that nearly every kind of offender commits.
Did you ever forge:
  • YOUR parents' signature to something?
  • YOUR spouse's signature to something?
EVERYBODY'S into forgery. Everybody.

Most financial institutions don't train their employees to spot the distinct kinds of forgeries and document alterations -- crimes that are often coupled with identity theft and embezzlement. There are actually several methods for forging and altering documents -- and each method has its own mechanical characteristics and tell-tale clues. Most institutions also don't train their employees how to prevent forgeries and related crimes. Most institutions don't conduct an appropriate risk assessment exercise to determine any vulnerability to forgeries and document alterations. This presentation is designed to help you:
  • Conduct an initial and continuing forgery and document alteration risk assessment
  • Identify policies and procedures -- and controls -- that should be retained, modified or eliminated
  • Determine if your forgery and document alteration training program is appropriate and effective
  • Make recommendations that will likely enhance the institution's ability to prevent these crimes -- or to assist in the identification, apprehension and prosecution of offenders
This seminar presents a logical and strategic model to help any institution employee understand the true scope of the processes used to forge, alter and counterfeit many kinds of documents. By understanding the cause and effect relationships between the forger's strategy and the observable result, the Security Officer may use this model to design and implement a standardized, institution-wide document examination and comparison process. Among the topics to be presented are:
  • Differences between forgeries, altered documents and counterfeits
  • Examples of forgery and alteration methods
  • Examples of most commonly forged negotiable and non-negotiable documents
  • Explanation of forgery and document alteration "clues"
  • Analysis of common document alteration tools
  • Signature verification procedures
  • Discussion of simple and effective anti-forgery tools
