Strengthen your Risk Management and the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Cycle within EU Funds in your Member State: Challenge for 2021-2027. The New Anti-Fraud and Corruption Game No. 4!

Similar to EU-awarded anti-fraud games no. 1, 2 and 3, the 4th edition of the Anti-Fraud and Corruption Game is a highly interactive and engaging game developed with the aim of building the capacity of EU Funds Authorities to prevent, detect and combat fraud and corruption at different stages. This new game, also 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, follows Jo’s motto: ‘take a walk on the Bridge of Sighs, let it inspire you in the fight against fraud and corruption’.

During the workshop we will focus on risk management, including fraud risk management in times of crisis and disaster. Recently, the EU Member States unanimously agreed to activate the Temporary Protection Directive 2001/55/EC. A genuine solidarity across Europe, which requires all member states to take on huge responsibility for the current refugee crisis. An effective crisis and risk management is a tool to achieve the goals of providing emergency care, housing, food, medical care, education, psychosocial care and so on. This also requires a responsible use of funds, facilities, loans, taxpayers’ and sponsorship money for a more united, human, and green(er) Europe.

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. Join us in Venice for a unique learning experience!

Methodology

The four-day intensive course offers the possibility to meet with the Jo Kremers, our EU anti-fraud expert. He will support you in applying complex rules to your practical day-to-day work. To achieve the best results, we employ a mixture of learning methods.

Our approach combines the three stages of learning to ensure that the participants obtain the best possible understanding of the applied rules:

1) Identification of the main rules and principles,
2) Appreciation of the complexities and limitation of the principles,
3) Application of the rules and principles.

The participants will be actively involved in the course. The sessions will combine presentations, case studies and discussion on practical problems. You will have ample opportunity to present your own issues and discuss them with the speakers and participants from other Member States.

Just send to us your cases and questions in advance! We will forward them to our speakers, who will include your issues in the programme and answer them during the course. All information concerning such problems and cases will be treated confidentially.

We will organise different social activities for our participants on site, during which you will have an opportunity to meet the experts and other participants and to discuss your questions in an informal atmosphere.

Course materials are available to download after the event.
