 Annex 1

Description of Requirements

Context of the Currently established through the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), the
Requirement Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau (ACIB), is tasked with holistically dealing
with corruption in the public sector, to establish and maintain confidence in public
and private institutions. The ACIB is inundated with large-scale corruption
investigations that are heavily focused on the Forensic Analysis of documents and
finding evidential correlations to reinforce the integrity of the investigation. Thus,
the training will focus on forensic accounting, fraud investigation and training
through workshops to build the capacity of ACIB members in conducting initial
forensic analyses of investigations. This will accelerate the rate at which these
evaluations are processed. Having this expertise within the ACIB will considerably
reduce expenses and delays generated from contracting experts externally to
conduct analyses at this level. These courses, provided by a locally and
internationally accredited institute, will serve to ultimately lift the profile and
capabilities of the ACIB by expanding the skills of their members.

TERMS OF REFERENCE

TRAINING INSTITUTE/ SERVICE PROVIDER FOR

Training of Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau (ACIB) Members

Purpose

Currently established through the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), the Anti-Corruption
Investigation Bureau (ACIB), is tasked with holistically dealing with corruption in the public sector,
to establish and maintain confidence in public and private institutions. The ACIB is inundated with
large-scale corruption investigations that are heavily focused on the Forensic Analysis of
documents and finding evidential correlations to reinforce the integrity of the investigation.

Thus, the training will focus on forensic accounting, fraud investigation and training through
workshops to build the capacity of ACIB members in conducting initial forensic analyses of
investigations. This will accelerate the rate at which these evaluations are processed. Having this
expertise within the ACIB will considerably reduce expenses and delays generated from
contracting experts externally to conduct analyses at this level. These courses, provided by a
locally and internationally accredited institute, will serve to ultimately lift the profile and
capabilities of the ACIB by expanding the skills of their members.

The consultancy is to span an estimated four months from the signing of the contract.

Situational Analysis and Context

While corruption has been a systemic issue in Latin America and the Caribbean for many decades,
tolerance of corruption has changed in recent years. Perception surveys and recent social unrest
in the region point towards a strong desire for greater transparency and accountability. In a
recent survey in 10 Latin American countries conducted by UNDP and CID-Gallup Omnibus, the
majority of those interviewed stated that the reduction of corruption is a top priority for the
future, and that it will be a critical component of effective recovery post COVID-19.5

Since its inception, the ACIB has relied on external partners to conduct forensic analyses and
audits in large-scale corruption investigations which is both costly as well as untimely. Further,

Cruz-Osorio, Jose, and Replication-Receiver. "Corruption: The Other Global Pandemic to Eradicate." UNDP.
December 09, 2020. Accessed July 07, 2021.
https://www.latinamerica.undp.org/content/rblac/en/home/blog/2020/corruption--the-other-global-pandemic-
to-eradicate.html

12
after such Forensic works are completed, almost 99% of outsourced analysists are unwilling to
testify in Court which leads to further delays in investigation and increased costs. Thereby,
training and certification of its members are needed in order for the ACIB to effectively carry out
its functions. The tools and knowledge provided by such training will allow the ACIB to target
corruption and other abuses almost immediately after reports are made which is crucial to the
recovery of corrupted funds, and other assets which belong to the State or public.

Forensic accounting combines principles from the accounting and auditing discipline with the
legal aspect to ensure appropriate procedures are followed when providing expert witness
opinions in courts and other litigation services.6 The forensic accounting investigation technique
has been identified worldwide as the best option for appropriately investigating into the root of
all corruption cases, and the majority of anti- corruption agencies have adopted the technique in
their investigations.7 Forensic accounting became necessary due to “the inability of traditional
auditing and other internal control mechanisms to spot fraud in organizations appropriately.”8
Thus, Forensic Accounting has emerged as the new ideology for anti-corruption purposes and
corruption control mechanisms, and is a much needed asset for the ACIB.

As such, the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Legal Affairs, the Trinidad and Tobago
Police Service (TTPS), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), intends to
improve the internal functions of the ACIB by developing the knowledge, abilities, skills and
competencies for members to become Forensic Accounting professionals.

Scope of Works

The UNDP is seeking a qualified and accredited institute to provide Forensic Accounting and
Fraud Investigation training programmes and credentials for up to 10 ACIB members. These
training programmes should subscribe to the relevant international guidelines for forensic
training and provide skills and knowledge within the following areas:

vi. Forensic Evidence Recovery

13
 This area will cover the methods of collection, identification, evaluation, and
preservation of evidence in financial fraud cases. It will include the fundamentals of
handling and processing forensic documents for effective evidence recovery.

vii. Counterfeit Examination

Training under this area will teach forensic methodologies and detection techniques
needed for ACIB members to conduct forensic counterfeit examinations and to be able
to identify and report on all types of counterfeits and tampered files. These include
identity documents such as passports and identification cards as well as currency notes,
credit cards and altered and counterfeited documents of all types.

viii. Expert Testimony

If a case reaches the courtroom, ACIB members will be required to testify as an expert
witness. Training in this area will cover the main skills and other requirements that
forensic analysts should possess to act as expert witnesses in courts. This includes
communication skills, auditing skills, investigative flexibility, legal knowledge, ability to
simplify information and evidence of expert objectivity.

ix. Forensic Accountancy and Analysis

ACIB members will be taught the forensic methods, techniques and applications on how
to actually conduct investigations in this field. They will be able to determine the
appropriate methods and tools for interviewing, interrogation, and behaviour detection
skills as well as analyse the characteristics of most of the data set under investigation.

x. Forensic Auditing Fundamentals

This area will cover the evaluation of financial and accounting data against calculations
to determine if there are any discrepancies or irregularities. ACIB members will learn
about risk assessment, audit evidence, sampling, materiality and documentation.

Expected Outcomes

This Consultancy is expected to have a focus on Forensic Accounting, identified by the ACIB and
should result in up to 10 members of the ACIB certified in Forensic Accounting and Fraud
Detection.

Tasks
