THE Anti-Corruption Commission and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime jointly organized a virtual training on the financial investigation at the commission’s training hall in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.

The Commission’s Acting Chair U San Win, members U Zaw Win, Daw Myat Myat Soe, U Han Nyunt, U Aung Than Myint and U Myo Myint, the Commission Office’s Directors-General and staff, UNODC’s Anti-Corruption Programme Manager Ms Marie-Laure Pegie Cauchois and trainers international expert Dr Ramandeep Chhina participated in the meeting.

At the opening of the training, Acting Chair U San Win said that the training was conducted so that chief financial investigators can skillfully conduct the financial investigation and build their capacities, saying that the commission can get important evidence by conducting financial investigations into the cases being investigated by the commission.

Anti-Corruption Law Articles 17 and 32 say that the commission can investigate and copy the records of banks and financial organizations, and can call for prohibition orders to the banks and financial investigation in investigating the corruption cases.

Eighty per cent of the commission’s investigation included the financial matters.

The commission also arranged three foreign training courses and five local trainingcourses for chief investigators in past years.

The five-day training will provide theoretical and practical lectures about the financial investigation.

UNODC’s Anti-Corruption Programme Manager Ms Marie-Laure Pegie Cauchois made greeting remarks and introduced trainer Dr Ramandeep Chhina to the trainees. A total of 30 chief investigators from the Commission Office’s investigation teams joined the training that will take place from 17 to 23 December.
