The training is meant to enhance the cooperation between the criminal justice system, regulators, and the FIUs. The training will also help support the financial sectors and other institutions to meet their obligations to detect and report money laundering and terrorist financing.

ICAR identifies that it is of great importance that the training be tailored to the country's urgent needs, and that existing experience as well as potentially ongoing cases in the country are taken into account when designing the training program. This is also of particular importance for the basic and advanced programs.

Before implementation, ICAR conducts a fact-finding mission consisting of 2-3 individuals to work with the concerned authorities in the country to define the existing capacity, the requirements going forward and to discuss some ongoing cases to identify particular challenges and difficulties. Based on the outcome of the mission, a tailor made training program is developed in close cooperation with the concerned authorities. After the delivery of the course, the ICAR team furthermore remains available for up to two years for follow up mentoring and/or case consulting, including the possibility of returning to the country to consult on a specific case or to refresh knowledge in a particular area. The trainings are as practice oriented as possible, by using the experience from past and ongoing cases either in the concerned country or from other countries around the world, and to work with those tools that are available to within the country.
