A meeting was held at the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine's central office between representatives of the Bureau and Simon Morgan, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Financial Crimes Liaison Officer at the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Republic of Poland. Representatives from the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine's regional offices also joined the event online.
During the topical training, the participants got acquainted with the structure and operational principles of the Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) and the Risk and Intelligence Service (RIS), as well as approaches to financial investigations, risk management, analytical work, and interagency cooperation.
Special attention was paid to investigation tools, approaches to cooperation and information exchange, as well as practical cases investigated by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
Modern economic crimes are becoming increasingly complex and technological. That is why effective countering requires not only reaction tools but also the development of analytical capacities, international partnerships, and a constant exchange of practical experience.
The Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine expresses its gratitude to HMRC representative Simon Morgan for his openness to professional dialogue, exchange of practical experience, and readiness to share approaches that help strengthen capabilities in countering financial crimes.
International partnership, professional exchange, and a shared understanding of modern challenges remain important components in developing an effective economic security system.
