<p>Assets recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) are distributed to
operational agencies under the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS). Broadly,
50% of recovered assets are returned to operational agencies in England and Wales
- including police, CPS and HM Courts Service – with the expectation that they will
be reinvested in asset recovery or community projects. The Home Office share of recovered
assets is a core part of its settlement under the Comprehensive Spending Review. It
contributes to core expenditure programmes such as policing and the NCA.</p><p>From
2011 to 2016, £307m of ARIS monies returned to operational partners was used to fund
further asset recovery work, crime reduction and community projects.</p><p>The Home
Office is committed to publishing an annual report on asset recovery statistics, including
the use of ARIS funds. The first of these was published in September 2017 and the
second will be published in September 2018. This report does not include detailed
information on specific projects.</p>
