Journalists who are interested in investigating tax avoidance, corruption, money laundering and asset recovery can apply for this course in London.

The Tax Justice Network and the Centre of Investigative Journalism are offering a training workshop “Introduction to Illicit Finance, Financial Secrecy and Asset Recovery.” The course will take place on April 8 — 11 at City University London.

The course is bringing together journalists primarily from the developing world where corruption, tax havens and harmful tax practices often stall development and entrench poverty.

Experience in financial reporting is an advantage but not a prerequisite.

The bursary for journalists from the developing countries will cover visa fees, travel, accommodation and daily allowance. Applicants will be selected based on their track record in investigative journalism.

The course fee for journalists from UK and Europe is GBP650.

The deadline is Jan. 30.
