The “Anticorruption Series: Financial Investigations Course" held from August 21 to 25, 2023, gathered 45 law enforcement officers from 8 member countries. Hosted by The International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) Bangkok and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the course equipped participants, including criminal investigators, tax enforcement officials, and government prosecutors, with advanced techniques to uncover and tackle fraud and public corruption. Grounded in international standards from the United Nations and Financial Action Task Force, the course emphasized hands-on learning through interactive sessions, case studies, and simulations of public corruption cases. The event bolstered participants' abilities to follow financial trails, identify assets, and calculate illegal gains, enhancing their contributions to fighting financial malfeasance worldwide.
