BARBRI moves into professional certification for digital world

Related Articles

BARBRI, a long-time bar review prep course, now offers professional certifications and training programs for workplace competencies in high-risk fields.

The company recently acquired Verisqil, a Miami-based company that offers the first-of-its-kind Certified E-Discovery Specialist and Certified Financial Crime Specialist certifications.

E-discovery refers to the process by which electronically stored information is gathered, stored, reviewed and disclosed in legal disputes, regulatory examinations and other matters. In 2006, the U.S. government amended the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to include formal rules for dealing with electronic discovery and ESI, which include emails, documents, video, social media posts, web content, and voice mail messages and other audio files.                                 

The explosion of electronic information, or “big data,” also has created compliance challenges for financial institutions. J.P. Morgan and other financial institutions around the world recently have formed global financial crime teams to protect against financial crime. These financial crime specialists are a new breed of compliance, risk and regulatory professionals – many of them attorneys – who deal with crimes that include corruption, tax evasion, fraud, money laundering and sanctions violations.

Sometimes referred to as white-collar crime, financial crime affects individuals, banks, government agencies and many other organizations globally.  The losses and the costs of regulation, enforcement and compliance exceed trillions of dollars annually around the world.
