Programme overview

Eligibility: Any graduate who has completed a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university, in any discipline, may apply. Relevant experience is welcome but is not compulsory. Admission is subject to document verification and NIFMT approval.

Students develop structured investigation skills to examine financial records, identify risk indicators, analyse market and corporate activity, document evidence and prepare professional investigation reports.

Statistics and stock-market investigation: Students use statistics and probability to examine financial records, compare transactions, identify unusual patterns and assess risk. Stock-market applications include market surveillance, trading-behaviour analysis, suspicious transaction indicators, securities regulation and investigation of possible market irregularities. This programme focuses on investigation and compliance, rather than stock selection or investment recommendations.
