We are thrilled to announce we have confirmed a new Course Connect partnership with the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SW ROCU). This partnership will see SW ROCU linked with our Forensic Accounting module as part of the MSc Accounting and Finance programme at UWE Bristol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Course Connect Partnerships help bridge the gap between academia and industry and contribute to the practice focus of our programmes at UWE Bristol. Businesses can partner with us to co-create knowledge and help educate our students by supporting a module on a taught programme for two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SW ROCU is one of nine regional units across England and Wales that delivers specialist capabilities to target and disrupt serious and organised crime. Police officers and staff seconded from the region\u2019s five forces work alongside colleagues from UK Border Force, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis partnership will be invaluable in providing current, relevant and real-world experience for our students.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Dr Ismail Misirlioglu, Senior Lecturer at UWE Bristol<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Within the two year partnership period, we plan to engage with a number of activities and events, whilst working together with SW ROCU to develop materials on the curriculum. Some of the examples of potential activities will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Financial crime experts who specialise in fraud and financial crime investigations will deliver a guest lecture for the Forensic Accounting module which will be a huge benefit to our students<\/li>
- The MSc Accounting and Finance programme team, with the support of the UWE Governance and Accountability Research Group, aim to involve, where relevant, with consultancy and dissertation projects, and provide training events for financial crime investigators around accounting and finance areas with a particular focus on forensic accounting<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so much to be gained from this partnership.\u00a0Not only will\u00a0students take \u2018real life\u2019 learning from our financial crime teams into their future roles, but our teams, which include law enforcement partners from across the region, will benefit from the latest course content and research.<\/p>
The threat of economic crime, whether fraud committed against individuals and businesses or money laundered by organised criminals, continues to grow.\u00a0Our work at SW ROCU isn\u2019t just about pursuing criminals committing these crimes, but working to prevent them from succeeding.\u00a0Helping businesses protect themselves against their constantly evolving methods and prepare to respond if they do happen is essential \u2013 and exactly where Course Connect fits in.\u201d<\/p>Detective Superintendent Tina Robinson, Head of the SW ROCU<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
