Fraud and corruption in the public sector heavily harm the economy, lower investment levels and reduce public finances. Anti-fraud and anti-corruption strategies are often not effective enough and damages done to public institutions and their budgets by fraud and corruption can be enormous ranging from financial loss to reduction of organisational performance, reputation, credibility and public confidence. Public staff, responsible for preventing, detecting and combating fraud and corruption, has to be equipped with the necessary know-how and tools to protect the integrity of their organisation. There is a need for more effective control instruments, reporting mechanisms, investigation methods and best practices.This Summer Academy is designed particularly to meet the needs of Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Officers, Internal and External Auditors, Compliance Officers, Procurement Officers, Risk Managers, Executive Managers, Judicial and Police Officers, Customs Agents and other members of staff responsible for fighting fraud and corruption or working in areas with high risk of fraud and corruption. Attendees will receive an intensive training on issues and tools needed to keep public institutions free from fraud and corruption. They will learn about the entire cycle from effective risk management, preventative measures, and detection methods to concrete actions to be taken in a confirmed case of fraud or corruption.The lecturers are experienced practitioners from key organisations like:United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)Transparency InternationalNATOMinistry of Finance, the NetherlandsInternal Audit for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, United KingdomLondon Audit Group and Fraud Sub-Group & Head of Anti-Fraud and Internal Audit, London, United KingdomFraud Office of Catalonia, Spain
