As part of the Administrative Control Authority's keenness to strengthen partnerships between sister Arab countries to support the efforts meant to prevent and combat corruption, the National Anti-Corruption Academy, the ACA's training arm, organized the "Preliminary Regional Expert Meeting to Launch the Training Package for Parallel Financial Investigations" in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the League of Arab States, and the National Coordinating Committee to Combat and Prevent Illegal Immigration and Human Trafficking with the participation of the Public Prosecution and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing(AML/CTF) Unit.

More than 50 experts and representatives of law enforcement authorities and financial investigation units from 13 Arab countries in the MENA region participated in this meeting. They discussed the importance of international cooperation and the application of international standards for the crime of money laundering and parallel financial investigation procedures. They further identified forms of organized crime that require a parallel financial investigation, in addition to presenting the most prominent successful practices in the field of developing parallel financial investigation guides in some participating countries.

The discussions resulted in consensus on a shared vision for developing the draft training package, prepared in cooperation with national and international partners in preparation for its launch by the Arab League as a guide for all Arab countries in the region. The purpose is to empower and promote the capabilities of specialists in the field of parallel financial investigations.
