SFO Investigator Training Programme

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is seeking a bespoke training programme to develop investigative skills across its workforce. The programme will train investigators, lawyers, and financial professionals at all levels—from trainees to senior investigators—in criminal and civil investigations under the Criminal Justice Act 1987 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Core modules will cover investigation theory and methodology, witness and victim interviewing, and suspect interrogation. Participants will gain confidence in strategic investigation practices, decision-making, risk management, exercising SFO powers, and conducting structured interviews. The modular structure (up to three days per module) combines theoretical learning with interactive engagement and practical skills exercises, allowing learners to balance training with operational duties. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in financial investigation training, knowledge of SFO powers and procedures, and experience delivering practical, scenario-based learning to diverse experience levels.
