Fraud and Corruption in “La Serenissima”: On-the-Spot Investigation

Fraud and Corruption in “La Serenissima”: On-the-Spot Investigation - Pictures Events 2023 20

“Take a walk on the Bridge of Sighs, let it inspire you in the fight against fraud and corruption” says Jo Kremers, former Senior Audit Manager of the Dutch Ministry of Finance. Following this recommendation, we go to Venice for a highly interactive course that aims to build the capacity of EU Funds Authorities to prevent, detect and combat fraud and corruption at different stages.

Let us build the future together by ensuring that subsidies, loans and other facilities are invested effectively in respect of legal requirements and by paving the path to a climate neutral, sustainable and resilient Europe.
