The performance of the projects funded through the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS) Top Slice scheme are governed by the Strategic Asset Recovery Group.

This creates a more transparent approach with agency level to ensure accountability, celebrate success, drive best practice, identify barriers, reassure communities and discourage those considering a criminal lifestyle.

We continue to fund critical capabilities through ARIS Top Slice, having nearly doubled investments made in 21/22 (from £7.5m to £13.9m, in 2021/22) with a renewed focus on work to seize criminal cash and crypto assets.
