ASSET RECOVERY FRAMEWORKS LEGISLATIVE REVIEW & DRAFTING
Get In Touch
Complyport offers support to jurisdictions and competent authorities in reviewing legal and institutional frameworks for asset management and conviction-based and non-conviction-based asset recovery. This support ensures that the jurisdiction complies with its obligations under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations and Immediate Outcomes.
Asset management and recovery are among FATF’s core aims, and jurisdictions are required to make asset recovery a key pillar of their approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
OUR SERVICES
1. Comprehensive Review of Asset Recovery Frameworks
We conduct end‑to‑end assessments of national systems, including:
- Proceeds of crime legislation
- Civil and criminal forfeiture regimes
- Mutual legal assistance and international cooperation mechanisms
- Institutional mandates and inter‑agency coordination
- Investigative and prosecutorial powers
- Management and disposal of seized and confiscated assets
Our reviews benchmark national laws and practices against the FATF Recommendations, Immediate Outcomes and international treaties.
2. Legislative Gap Analysis and Policy Recommendations
We identify structural weaknesses, inconsistencies, and operational bottlenecks, and provide:
- Detailed gap analyses
- Policy options tailored to national legal frameworks
- Comparative insights from leading jurisdictions
- Practical recommendations to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability
3. Drafting of New Legislation and Amendments
We support governments in designing modern, coherent, and enforceable laws, including:
- Conviction-based asset recovery legislation
- Non-conviction-based asset recovery and unexplained wealth legislation
- MLA and international cooperation statutes
- Asset management and disposal frameworks
- Institutional mandates for recovery agencies
Drafting is done collaboratively to ensure alignment with constitutional requirements, domestic legal practice, and operational realities.
4. Reform of Institutional and Operational Frameworks
Strong laws require strong institutions. We assist with:
- Designing or restructuring asset recovery offices
- Developing SOPs, guidelines, and inter‑agency protocols
