Description

Our signature training programme helps participants gain the fundamental criminal investigative techniques to prove different elements of a corruption and money laundering offence and initiate an asset recovery action. 

Working in groups, participants conduct an investigation into the Director of Public Works in the Ministry of Internal Development. Through his position, the suspect enriches himself unduly and channels illegal funds through various local and offshore corporate vehicles. The participants apply investigative techniques like open-source intelligence, surveillance and interviews. They trace and analyse bank statements and accounting records. The participants make use of informal and formal international cooperation measures to secure evidence and recover assets hidden outside their jurisdiction. 

Tailored instruction and group discussions provide participants with the skills and knowledge to complete the simulated investigation. 

Participants learn to:

• Analyse large volumes of data, gather and assemble evidence ready for presentation at trial and establish a basis for the confiscation of assets.
• Use financial investigative tools to prove illegal/unknown income and conduct financial analysis of bank statements using Excel.
• Use criminal investigative techniques to identify relevant witnesses and evidence.
• Obtain intelligence and evidence from foreign jurisdictions. Initiate an asset recovery action.
