"Follow the money." That was Deep Throat's secret advice to Bob Woodward at the height of the Washington Post's Watergate investigation. Indeed, there’s a reason the FBI hires so many accountants – so they can dig into financial records and figure out where it came from and where it’s headed. The paper trail has changed -- money now moves digitally and business registries are databases – but this lets journalists do more than ever before in tracking people and companies across borders. This workshop on deciphering company records can help guide you on your way.
