CII Annual Conferences

Annual Conferences

CII’s annual conference provides a forum for investigators of international organizations to exchange ideas, discuss integrity issues, address challenges in fighting fraud and corruption, and share leading practices.

Its annual conferences enable and enhance close cooperation and collegiality among investigative offices of participating organizations, facilitate dialogue amongst the investigators, provide advanced hands-on training, and enable its participants to hear from industry specialists and receive the latest developments in the field.

Now in its third decade and held in notable capitals and venues throughout the world, CII’s annual conferences have firmly established themselves as the premier forum for investigation professionals of participating organizations worldwide, to come together and share their experiences and knowledge as well as their challenges and concerns on key strategic, technical, and operational topics.

The 25th Annual Conference will be hosted by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in 2025 at its headquarters in Beijing, People’s Republic of China.

CII General Principles for Core Investigative Activities

Six volumes of General Principles for conducting core investigative activities that greatly expand on the principles within the CII’s Uniform Principles and Guidelines for Investigations. Endorsed at the 21st CII, these Principles provide more in-depth, principles-based, uniform guidance to investigators and Investigative Offices conducting these six core activities: Intake and Evaluation, Scoping and Planning, collection of Physical and Documentary Evidence, collection of Testimonial Evidence, collection of Digital Evidence and Evidence Analysis and Reporting of Findings.

As supplements to the CII’s Uniform Principles and Guidelines, each paper sets out non-binding principles establishing uniform standards to guide investigators and Investigative Offices undertaking these activities. They are purposely not prescriptive in technical details nor implementing practices. These Principles will also form the basis for a future CII Investigator Credential and CII Investigator training pathways.
