What does the ICC ACSU do?

Answer 1

The ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit was set up to provide international cricket with a dedicated, professional operation to tackle the problem of match-fixing and corruption.
Its first Terms of Reference covered the three-year period up to the end of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 in South Africa. Those original Terms have been reviewed and amended to recognise the wider role now required so that today, its two principal roles are:
• To assist the ICC Code of Conduct Commission and the Members of ICC in the eradication of conduct of a corrupt nature prejudicial to the interests of the game of cricket

• To provide a professional, permanent security infrastructure to act as a long-term deterrent to conduct of a corrupt nature prejudicial to the interests of the game of cricket

Answer 2

The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit was set up to provide international cricket with a dedicated, professional operation to tackle the problem of match-fixing and corruption.

Its first Terms of Reference covered the three year period up to the end of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 in South Africa. Those original Terms have been reviewed and amended to recognise the wider role now required. With effect from July 2003, the Anti-Corruption Unit was renamed as the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit.

The change in nomenclature is slight but appropriate as the Unit takes on a broader mandate that gives equal weight to the prevention and investigation of corruption.

Its two principal roles are:

To assist the ICC Code of Conduct Commission and the Members of ICC in the eradication of conduct of a corrupt nature prejudicial to the interests of the game of cricket


To provide a professional, permanent security infrastructure to act as a long-term deterrent to conduct of a corrupt nature prejudicial to the interests of the game of cricket
Lord Condon, formerly Director of the ACU, now leads the Unit as Chairman. He acts in consultation with ICC Chief Executive, Malcolm Speed. Day-to-day operational responsibility rests with Jeff Rees as General Manager and Chief Investigator.

The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit is an operating division of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission, which is chaired by Michael Beloff QC.

The Unit operates from the ICC offices in Dubai. In addition to the Chairman and Chief Investigator and General Manager, there is a full time staff of five Regional Security Managers (based in Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa and the UK), two Investigators, an Intelligence Manager and an Administrator.
