In 2010, the G20 set up an Anti-Corruption Working Group to identify priority actions and monitor their implementation. A key priority of the G20 is to prevent corrupt officials from accessing the global financial system and from laundering the proceeds of corruption.

Nikos Passas, Professor of Criminal Justice, and Co-Director of the Institute for Security and Public Policy, Northeastern University, Boston, is in Australia advising on G20 anti-corruption priorities as a guest of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security, and the Centre for Governance & Public Policy, Griffith University.

Professor Passas is a member of the Athens Bar (Greece), he is editor-in-chief of Crime, Law and Social Change, and an international specialist in corruption, illicit financial/trade flows, sanctions, informal fund transfers, white-collar crime, terrorism and financial regulation.  He is a past and present consultant and advisor to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), OECD, OSCE, the IMF, the World Bank, the United Nations, the Commission of the European Union and US National Academy of Sciences. He is also a Consortium and Faculty member of the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA), Vienna; Law Professor in the Financial Integrity Program, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland; Corruption Program Director for the Ethics and Compliance Officer Association; and a Visiting Professor in the Anti-Corruption Research and Education Centre, Beijing Normal University.

The Transnational Research Institute on Corruption (TRIC) was established in 2010 as a cross disciplinary Centre to bring together ANU expertise in the study of corruption.
