Performance & Governance

Exploiting insights and partnerships to set clear operational plans and a consistent pipeline of high impact initiatives, evaluating and learning from our performance.

Asset Denial

The team will be a dedicated and specialist resource solely focusing on asset tracing with the objective of enhancing the current capability across the system. Utilising new technology, the team will help to drive early proactive identification and tracing of assets to develop quality pipeline work for asset denial activity to ultimately deliver more disruptions, and recover more assets.

Expert Laundering Evidence

The Expert Laundering Evidence (ELE) Cadre is comprised of staff from the NCA alongside other law enforcement agencies, including the Serious Fraud Office, and police forces across the UK. Cadre members are highly skilled, and are experienced in both understanding money laundering methodologies, as well as conducting investigations into criminals seeking to launder the proceeds of crime. Cadre members have a genuine interest and enthusiasm for their areas of expertise. They share a commitment to use their specialist knowledge to assist the UK court system in understanding money laundering. ELE members provide independent and impartial expert evidence to the courts.

Crypto assets and Tech Enablers

International

The role is likely to cut across all three priority countries, as well as possible scoping of wider geographic priorities. There is likely to be widespread engagement required across multiple commands in the NCA, other law enforcement partners, central His Majesty’s Government (HMG)departments (Home Office, Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office), and international partners. A talent for engagement with a diverse set of stakeholders, an understanding of international relations and politics, as well as law enforcement processes are all likely to be valuable
