Anti-Fraud and Corruption Game Number 6! Successful Whistleblowing in Real Life

The focus of our event will be the anti-fraud cycle and the whistle-blowing authorities in Europe, with particular attention to the Italian real-life experience and its role within the Network of European Integrity. You will find out how the whistle-blowing mechanism works in Italy and other EU Member States, thanks to the opportunity to exchange practical know-how and information about the cooperation with them. Our motto will be:

“Expand your anti-fraud and corruption knowledge and network, step into the Network of the European Integrity and Whistleblowing Authorities”

Participants receive a certificate upon participation.

Topics and Methodology

We would like to introduce our brand new format: Master class with On-the-spot Visits. The Chair of the Master Class is Jo Kremers, former Senior Audit Manager at the Ministry of Finance in the Netherlands.

Our approach during this unique, attractive and highly interactive event includes the set-up of a well-structured risk analysis, focused on gathering evidence, fact finding, based on professional scepticism, by the use of the internet, open sources, data analysis and sophisticated software, and not to forget the use of your most important instruments,  combined with a more innovative way of thinking. Under professional coaching and guidance, enthusiastic teams are competing for the best results and a real reward.

The participants will be actively involved in various exercises and group works during the course. This round-table format will offer a platform to learn how to prevent, detect and combat irregularities and fraud in ESI Funds, IPA Funds, AMIF and ISF. Besides expert presentations, the sessions will include discussions and exchange of national (best) practices as well as expert guidance on how to best implement and apply the foreseen measures and strategies in your country.
