Workshops and projects

Regional workshops

AMLAT regularly hosts workshops in Australia and the region. The workshops focus on awareness raising, training and mentoring in the area of anti-money laundering, proceeds of crime and counter-financing of terrorism. The workshops are targeted at increasing the capacity of a number of different professional groups including prosecutors, police officers and the judiciary. They provide tailored activities designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of participants.  AMLAT works with a number of Australian Government and international partners in presenting and hosting the workshops.

Country projects

AMLAT works closely with officials in other countries and provides capacity building training to establish and strengthen anti-money laundering, counter-financing of terrorism and proceeds of crime systems throughout the region.

Asia Pacific Group project

AMLAT has conducted a scoping study on the links between money laundering, people smuggling and people trafficking in the Asia-Pacific region for the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG). The study will enhance identification of obstacles to combating people smuggling and trafficking in persons and allow for further investigation of weaknesses in regional anti-money laundering frameworks.
