Description de la formation

The "CAS Combating Financial Crime Through Asset Recovery" deals with central phenomena and mechanisms of global financial crime and how to combat them, which are important for experts in the field of combating corruption and money laundering. It analyses the complexity of international investigations in the areas of corruption and money laundering. The focus is on established procedures for asset recovery and fundamental frameworks, methods and challenges. This includes the legal basis in a global context and in various jurisdictions, financial investigation techniques, the importance of new technical tools and artificial intelligence, cross-border cooperation, different legal traditions, relevant human rights issues and the involvement of stakeholders.

In this study programme, participants acquire a sound understanding of asset recovery and develop the critical thinking and skills required to successfully master the challenges in this area and make an effective contribution to the fight against corruption and money laundering. This is achieved by teaching the relevant political, legal and economic backgrounds and by working through the procedure in a practice-oriented way. The programme also serves as a platform for international experts to exchange experiences and promote cross-sector co-operation.

The examples used in the continuing education programme are based on the many years of work and expertise of the Basel Institute on Governance and its teams, in particular the experience of the International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) in these subject areas and in various regions of the world.

The content of the programme takes into account the current state of research, teaching and application.
