Asset Recovery Office (ARO)

An Asset Recovery Office (ARO) is a specialized team within an organization or government that focuses on locating, managing, and recovering assets obtained through illegal or improper activities. Their goal is to ensure that stolen, misappropriated, or illicitly acquired assets are identified, secured, and returned or used to benefit the public or the organization. They work with legal, financial, and investigative experts to track down assets across various jurisdictions, often involving complex legal procedures. In essence, the ARO helps ensure accountability and justice by reclaiming assets that should not have been improperly gained.
