Over four days, participants will explore:

Overview of Financial Investigations and Asset Recovery. This module provides an introduction to the fundamentals of financial investigations. It addresses common misunderstandings about the offence of money laundering and examines how the AML framework serves as a practical instrument for asset recovery — not merely for regulatory compliance.
-

-
Overview of International Cooperation. This module examines the formal and informal channels for gathering financial intelligence and evidence across borders, including mutual legal assistance, informal law enforcement networks, and financial intelligence-sharing mechanisms.
-
The Role of Civil Society and Journalists in Asset Recovery. This module explores the role of CSOs and journalists in financial investigations and asset recovery. It examines their contributions to the detection and reporting of financial crime, asset tracing and management, and the repatriation and redeployment of recovered assets.
