Between 2 and 3 September 2025, IACA organized a two-day tailor-made training on effective prevention, detection and investigation of illicit financial flows for the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Nazaha), in Riyadh. 

Twenty-three participants took part in intensive sessions led by Mr. Kevin Mark Stephenson — a globally renowned expert in anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and financial investigations. With three decades of international experience, Mr. Stephenson brought not only an extensive expertise, but most importantly real-world insights in the global fight against illicit financial flows. 

Over the course of the workshop, participants deepened their understanding of legal frameworks and international standards designed to combat money laundering and corruption. Through interactive discussions and case-based learning, the sessions focused on practical methods for detecting, preventing, and investigating the proceeds of corruption. 

Day two shifted to an applied approach, delving into the nuanced process of establishing and overseeing a financial investigation task force. Based on hands-on field experience, participants explored the operational, legal, and strategic aspects of task force creation — equipping them with tools they can immediately apply in their respective daily operations.
