Overview
Financial crime is an increasing concern for governments all over the world, namely due to the fact it is inextricably link with so many different forms of crime including terrorism financing, money laundering, cyber crime and many more.
Scope
Beyond Borders programmes tackle financial crime from any and all of the above angle, looking through the legislative lens first by examining the way legislation has evolved to deal with a shifting threat. Investigation of financial crime is covered by BB partners in the Metropolitan Police with expertise in financial crime, and this will cover the new search tools in the form of Unexplained Wealth Orders, evidence gathering and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Beyond Borders has partners in the legal sector who are leading the fight against financial crime in court rooms up and down the UK and who travel internationally facilitating BB programmes.
Impact
Programmes take the form of in depth in-country training with leading experts from multi-sector backgrounds or UK study visits. Training in-country includes working through case studies, role-play, lectures, simulations and group work. UK visits allow access to a wider range of individuals and organisations and include onsite visits to those tackling drugs crimes on the frontline, intergovernmental round-tables, NGO engagement and the opportunity for court observation.
