On 30 July 2020 the IACCC launched a new Associate Membership Scheme. This allows law enforcement agencies from smaller financial centres to join the IACCC as Associate Members having signed an MOU. Associate Members are able to rapidly exchange intelligence with the IACCC to assist with the development of the intelligence picture on grand corruption cases. The IACCC will be able to provide further support to partners across the world with grand corruption investigations, including the facilitation of Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) requests between their jurisdictions.

The new IACCC Associate Members are:
• The Cayman Islands Anti-Corruption Commission
• The Gibraltar Financial Intelligence Unit
• The Guernsey Financial Intelligence Unit
• The Isle of Man Financial Intelligence Unit
• The Jersey Financial Intelligence Unit
• The Mauritius Independent Commission Against Corruption
• The Seychelles Anti-Corruption Commission
• The Turks and Caicos Islands Integrity Commission

These agencies join the existing core IACCC Members, consisting of law enforcement agencies from six countries and Interpol. It is the intention that additional law enforcement agencies will join the IACCC as Associate Members on a regular basis.

The Associate Membership Scheme further strengthens the IACCC as the only international initiative to provide specific operational support to external law enforcement agencies with their domestic corruption cases. It is hoped that the introduction of the Associate Membership Scheme will build upon the successes achieved since the IACCC become operational in July 2017.
