When investigating possible corruption or money laundering attempts in an organization, an FBI agent can use a variety of methods. First, the agent should conduct background research on both the organization and its associates. Additionally, they should carefully examine financial documentation such as tax forms and loan agreements. Further probes could include interviewing current/former employees or doing undercover surveillance operations to detect any suspicious activities. Evidence found could be used to present to prosecutors as well as make referrals for follow-up investigations regarding potential wrongdoings.

1. Reconstruct relevant financial transactions using available banking and accounting information, employing techniques like data mining and artificial intelligence to spot patterns or anomalies. 
2. Contact external parties (e.g., whistleblowers, financial advisors) that may offer alternative evidence to suggest suspicious activity within the organization.
3. Question employees within the organization to uncover discrepancies in their statements and identify those who might be implicated in any criminal action. 
4. Survey the physical location of transactions or activities that may imply illegal exchange of monies such as luxurious real estate or vehicles not commensurate with known sources of income within an individual’s portfolio (tax evasion). 
5. Analyze international money movements through wire transfers or other methods such as foreign exchange trader analysis for hints of potential wrongdoings or deception between individuals or organizations on different sides of a transaction..
