The Department capitalises on advanced equipment, information technology and specialised skills to clamp down on corruption :

• Video and audio recording facilities to tape suspects' interviews to avoid protracted legal arguments over their admissibility. This tape-recorded interview process has become an established and accepted practice with full support from the courts and lawyers.
• Computer forensic skills to preserve, seize, examine and analyse electronic data and present them as admissible evidence in court.
• Specialised financial investigation skills to trace "paper trails" of criminal acts and corrupt payments as corruption cases become more complex and sophisticated.

The Forensic Accounting Group

Established in 2011, the Forensic Accounting (FA) Group comprises dedicated Forensic Accountant Grade officers with professional qualifications and extensive forensic accounting experience. It provides support to frontline investigators in dealing with cases involving increasingly sophisticated modus operandi from a financial perspective. The support includes the provision of expert opinion in relation to financial and accounting matters as well as the provision of assistance in search operations. Training sessions are also provided by FA Group officers to frontline investigators to enhance their skills and knowledge in financial investigation.

Asset Recovery Office

To enhance the capability of the Commission to deprive criminals of their corrupt and illicit crime proceeds, the Proceeds of Crime section (now known as the "Asset Recovery Office") was established in 2010 to deal with restraint, disclosure, and confiscation of assets under the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance (Cap 455).
