  6. Day 3 Final Capstone and Exam
As financial platforms digitize and automated tax evasion schemes grow increasingly complex, modern auditors, tax investigators, and legal counsels can no longer rely on traditional forensic accounting methods.
The CSFTCI Level 1: Foundations of Financial Cyber-Forensics & Audit Trails is a high-intensity, 3-day professional certification program engineered by The Academy Greyhawk. This course bridges advanced data-triage mechanics with an air-tight, dual-framework approach—integrating universally recognized global forensic benchmarks with the specific statutory rules of Philippine jurisprudence.
 
Designed specifically for financial auditors, tax investigators (such as BIR and AMLC officers), compliance directors, and corporate fraud litigators, this program strips away conceptual abstractions to place you directly inside technical sandbox environments. Participants will learn how to forensically extract volatile corporate ledgers from major cloud ERP systems while ensuring compliance with local computerized accounting standards. You will master the document-forensics required to isolate backdated spreadsheet metadata and flag altered system logs, ensuring your electronic findings are legally admissible under the local Rules on Electronic Evidence.
 
Moving beyond standard ledger reviews, this foundational tier provides hands-on modules for mapping structured fraud networks across localized FinTech payment corridors—including platforms like GCash, Maya, and InstaPay—under the strict mandates of the AFASA 2024 (Anti-Financial Account Scams Act). Participants will also learn to investigate synthetic receipt networks under the BIR's Run After Fake Transactions (RAFT) parameters.
 
The program leverages Greyhawk’s proprietary Jera AI engine, teaching you how to automate the parsing of millions of rows of transaction data to isolate hidden anomalies. The masterclass culminates in a rigorous, timed Day 3 Capstone Simulation, where you must analyze a compromised corporate database backup, uncover an active financial crime trail, and assemble an air-tight evidence file that meets National Privacy Commission regulations and stands up to judicial scrutiny.
🎓 Level 1 Certification Badging Requirements
Graduates who achieve an aggregate score of 85% or higher across the core assessment blocks will be awarded the professional designation of Certified Financial Cybercrime Analyst (CFCA) from The Academy Greyhawk.
  • [30%] Technical Data Triaging & Lab Drills: Hands-on evaluation of a participant’s ability to locate hidden metadata alteration, identify ledger manipulation, and properly isolate system log anomalies.
  • [30%] Regulatory & Statutory Compliance: Daily quizzes testing operational execution under BIR RR No. 9-2009, AFASA 2024, and the Data Privacy Act (DPA).
  • [40%] Day 3 Capstone Incident Report: Evaluation of the structural integrity, data completeness, and procedural admissibility of the final financial cybercrime investigation dossier.

1. Who should take the CSFTCI Level 1 course, and are there any technical prerequisites?
  1. 1. Who should take the CSFTCI Level 1 course, and are there any technical prerequisites?

    This course is designed for financial, audit, legal, and compliance professionals—including corporate internal auditors, forensic accountants, tax lawyers, compliance directors, and regulatory officers from agencies like the BIR, SEC, and AMLC. There are no prior programming or computer science prerequisites. The technical labs are built to teach you how to extract database files, audit spreadsheet metadata, and configure automated analysis tools, not to write raw code.

2. How does the "Dual-Framework Implementation" directly apply to my current work in the Philippines?
  1. 2. How does the "Dual-Framework Implementation" directly apply to my current work in the Philippines?

    Every technical skill taught in this course is directly tied to an active Philippine regulatory mandate. For example, when you learn cloud data capture, it is aligned with BIR RR No. 9-2009 for Computerized Accounting Systems. When you learn to trace mobile wallets, it is modeled under the AFASA 2024 (Anti-Financial Account Scams Act) using local platforms like GCash and Maya. This ensures that any evidence you gather is legally admissible under the local Rules on Electronic Evidence (REE).

3. Do I get real hands-on experience with Greyhawk's Jera AI tool during Level 1?
  1. 3. Do I get real hands-on experience with Greyhawk's Jera AI tool during Level 1?

    Yes. On Day 3, you will work directly inside a virtual sandbox environment with Greyhawk's proprietary Jera AI engine. You will learn how to feed millions of rows of unorganized bank CSV dumps and corporate ledgers into the AI, configure machine learning filters to flag "smurfing" deposits, and format the outputs to be compliant with National Privacy Commission (NPC) data sanitation rules.

4. What professional credential do I receive, and does it unlock Level 2?
  1. 4. What professional credential do I receive, and does it unlock Level 2?

    Participants who successfully pass the Day 3 Practical Capstone simulation with an aggregate score of 85% or higher will earn the Certified Financial Cybercrime Analyst (CFCA) professional designation and digital badge from The Academy Greyhawk. Earning your CFCA is the mandatory prerequisite required to unlock the CSFTCI Level 2 Advanced Track, which covers international offshore banking, advanced cryptocurrency tracing, and Court of Tax Appeals mock litigation.

5. How can my organization register for an upcoming cohort, and what are the learning modes?
  1. 5. How can my organization register for an upcoming cohort, and what are the learning modes?
    The Level 1 track is offered as a high-intensity, 3-day oNLINE bootcamp at our corporate training SITE in Metro Manila, or via a hybrid synchronous online track for enterprise teams. Because the course requires dedicated cloud sandbox environments and individual software licensing for Jera AI, seats are strictly limited per intake. Corporate accounting firms, compliance departments, and government units can request the latest cohort schedules and tuition structures by contacting Greyhawk Forensics via their Official Asia Website or their LinkedIn Portal.
