IACA’s third group of Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) students is currently on campus for the in-class part of its current module on Corruption, Enforcement, and the Public Sector.

Discussion themes include investigating and prosecuting corruption cases, money-laundering, asset tracing and recovery, anti-corruption measures in local governance, and building effective national anti-corruption strategies.

Lecturers for this module are Abu Kassim bin Mohamed, a visiting expert at IACA and previously Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Daniel Li, a former Deputy Commissioner and Head of Operations at the Hong Kong Independent Commission against Corruption, Shervin Majlessi, Senior Legal Adviser at the World Bank/UNODC Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR), local governance experts Ana Vasilache and Ronald MacLean-Abaroa (the latter a former mayor of La Paz, Bolivia), and Eduard Ivanov, a member of the academic team in IACA’s Compliance and Collective Action Department.

The MACS is a two-year, in-career programme consisting of seven modules and a master’s thesis, and is specifically designed for working professionals. The first four intakes, including the 2016-2018 class, have consisted of students from about 40 countries and jurisdictions in all regions of the world.
