ABSTRACT
Investigation and prevention of financial crime has the value configuration of a value shop. There are five primary activities of the value shop in relation to a financial crime investigation and prevention unit: Problem Definition, Investigation Approaches, Approach Decision, Investigation Implementation and Performance Evaluation. The performance of the financial crime investigation and prevention unit should be continually under scrutiny by the executive leadership of the business or public organization. The Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) plays a pivotal role within all serious crime investigations. Electronic evidence and computer forensics have become essential for responding to legal actions against financial crime. The Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (kokrim) is tasked with combating economic crime, environmental crime and the laundering of proceeds of crime. Kokrim has been heavily critized in the media for public exposure of suspects and long investigation periods. Within financial crime investigations, IT forensics and cyber crime investigations are an extremely complicated field.
