IAACA has launched a new “Knowledge Nexus Webinar Series” aimed at empowering anti-corruption fighters worldwide. These sessions provide essential insights, share best practices, and foster collaboration in the ongoing battle against corruption.

The webinar series kicked off with its inaugural session on Leveraging AI and Advanced Technologies in Combating Corruption on 29 April 2025. This event attracted over 400 participants from around 35 countries, featuring discussions led by Mr Huanzhang Fu, Assistant Director of Strategic Innovation at INTERPOL, and Mr Máté Benyovszky, Head of Development and AI at the Integrity Authority of Hungary. They explored the transformative role of AI in anti-corruption efforts.
Key Takeaways from the Webinar:
Responsible AI Innovation: Emphasis on the importance of integrating AI responsibly in law enforcement to maintain public trust and prevent misuse.
Comprehensive AI Toolkit: Introduction of a 350-page AI toolkit designed to guide law enforcement agencies in institutionalizing responsible AI practices, covering theoretical knowledge, supporting documents, and practical tools.
Diverse AI Applications: Exploration of various AI use cases in law enforcement, including video surveillance, digital forensics, predictive policing, and intelligence gathering, showcasing AI's potential to enhance operational effectiveness.
Risks of AI Misuse: Discussion on the potential for criminals to exploit AI technologies for malicious purposes, including misinformation campaigns, financial fraud, and cyber-attacks.

The second session of the series, titled “Digital and Accounting Forensics: Practical Application in Anti-Corruption Cases – From Investigation to Prosecution”, took place on 18 June 2025. Nearly 1,000 participants from over 60 countries and regions joined us for this dynamic and insightful event.
During the webinar, the experts from three anti-corruption agencies in Asia shared practical experiences in digital and accounting forensics:
- Mr Ide Basman from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Brunei Darussalam
- Mr Chng Tze Wai and Mr Neo Shi Long from the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau of Singapore
- Mr David Williams and Mr Sudhir Gidwani from the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China
Key Takeaways from the Webinar:
“Triage workstation can quickly assist investigators in assessing digital evidence and reducing turnaround times”
“Investigators should stay informed about new technology and security features as they may affect the ability to extract data from devices”
“While Gen AI could complement existing investigative work, it would not replace human analysis and would be used primarily for less critical cases initially”
“Dedicated teams, continuous training, and international cooperation are important in effectively tracing and recovering assets”
Our engaged participants also made the two sessions truly interactive and impactful. We hope the insights shared will strengthen global efforts to combat corruption more effectively.
IAACA will continue to roll out an exciting line-up of webinars exploring thought- provoking topics and fostering knowledge exchange. Stay tuned for our next sessions!
