The employees of QFIU participated in a training program on “Conducting Financial Investigations and Corruption Crimes and their Practical Applications”, which was held by the Administrative Control and Transparency Authority (ACTA) in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) (Phase One – Fundamentals and General Principles), on October 4 and 5, 2021. The training session aimed at explaining and discussing the various methods, systems, and means used by criminals in general, to conceal or disguise the sources of their illegal gains, while focusing on corruption as a predicate crime. The trainees also discussed compliance measures in banks and other related entities, while focusing on how to make use of the information contained in compliance documents in financial investigations.
It is worth noting that the training session is a first phase of the program, and the Administrative Control and Transparency Authority, in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, will complete the next phase during 2022 AD.
