Course Overview

The Fraud Investigation: PEACE Interviews & Digital Evidence course by Koenig Original is designed for fraud examiners, internal auditors, compliance officers, and law enforcement professionals seeking to strengthen investigative interviewing and digital evidence handling skills. This comprehensive program focuses on mastering the PEACE model—a structured, ethical framework for conducting investigative interviews—and integrates digital forensics methodologies to support fraud investigations. With fraud-related financial losses exceeding $4.7 trillion globally according to ACFE reports, organizations increasingly demand professionals trained in legally compliant and effective investigative techniques. This course equips learners with the tools to conduct admission-seeking interviews, assess deception, and gather reliable statements while adhering to legal standards, making it essential for roles in forensic accounting, corporate investigations, and compliance.

Participants gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools including EnCase Forensic, FTK (Forensic Toolkit), Wireshark, and Cellebrite for mobile device analysis, alongside practical use of the PEACE framework in simulated investigations. The lab environment features a secure, virtualized platform where students configure forensic workstations, analyze disk images, extract metadata, and recover deleted files from digital devices. A key project involves conducting a full digital investigation of a simulated fraud case, from evidence acquisition and chain-of-custody documentation to producing a forensic report admissible in court. Students also practice witness and suspect interviews using role-play scenarios, applying cognitive interviewing techniques and behavioral analysis to detect deception and obtain credible accounts.

This course prepares professionals for careers in forensic investigation and supports preparation for certifications such as Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), which is recognized globally and associated with a 20% higher earning potential according to PayScale. Koenig Original’s Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling ensures timely access to training, while 1-on-1 mentoring options provide personalized support. Graduates are equipped to transition into advanced roles such as forensic investigator, fraud analyst, or compliance manager, with the expertise to lead investigations that combine ethical interviewing practices and robust digital evidence analysis in alignment with legal and regulatory frameworks.

What You'll Learn

Implement the PEACE model for investigative interviews to improve accuracy and reliability in fraud investigations. Analyze digital evidence using NIST SP 800-86 forensic best practices to ensure integrity and admissibility in court. Conduct witness interviews with ACFE-aligned protocols to gather clear, actionable information and reduce interview bias by 30 percent. Evaluate fraud cases effectively by applying structured interview techniques that uncover critical details. Secure digital data in strict accordance with ISO/IEC 27037 forensic standards and ACPO guidelines to ensure chain-of-custody compliance for digital evidence. Ensure chain-of-custody compliance for digital evidence by applying strategic interviewing methods that lead to better case resolution and fraud detection.
