Strengthen your Risk Management and the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Cycle within EU Funds in your Member State: Challenge for 2021-2027

Overview

Fraud and corruption dramatically harm the economy, public finances as well as the reputation and credibility of the institutions involved. With the use of new technologies, fraudsters encounter more complex forms and practices of fraud and corruption, which are difficult to trace. Controls and audits, especially if not set up or performed effectively, are cost-intensive and lengthy. Institutions must be aware of these risks and need to implement proactive measures and tools to effectively prevent and detect fraud and corruption. First level controllers, (risk) managers and auditors need to be aware of preventive and detective measures and anti-fraud and anti-corruption strategies. Public institutions should enable and empower their employees to understand the principles and signals of fraud and corruption, should know how to report them and should be conscious of their impact.

We are happy to present this special edition of the anti-fraud and corruption game by Jo Kremers with the motto: “a day without laughter is a day wasted”. This advanced level training is a highly interactive and engaging game, which was developed with the aim to build the capacity of EU Funds Authorities to prevent, detect and combat fraud and corruption at different stages. This game was created by Jo Kremers, former Senior Audit Manager of the Dutch Ministry of Finance, relying on his extensive experience as auditor and fraud investigator for the private and public sectors.

This new version has the character of an Escape Room Game and it will be played in Venice. In order to invest in the set up and especially the strengthening of the anti-fraud and corruption cycle for EU funds, participants will experience with their team a unique, suspenseful and intense adventure!!!!!

For a successful adventure as a team you need :

• a lot of positive energy and inspiration
• a camera, a laptop/tablet/smartphone
• a good team spirit and an enthusiastic attitude
• a healthy dose of curiosity and
• a good eye, a good ear and a healthy scepticism in enchanting Venice.

Unlike classical trainings, which mostly focus on the EU laws and regulations with a set of ready-to-use anti-fraud measures, this training encourages and motivates participants to develop their ability to recognise red flags of fraud and corruption by being more attentive and responsive to hints of fraud. This early awareness allows them to choose the most appropriate and effective anti-fraud control measures.

We take care of your wellbeing

• Regular cleaning of surfaces and sanitary facilities
• Sufficient ventilation of event room
• Recommended hand hygiene
• Possibility to keep distance between all speakers and participants
• Recommended mouth and nose protection
