Anti-fraud and Corruption Game: Port Authority

Anti-fraud and Corruption Game: Port Authority - Pictures Events 2023 39

We are very pleased to present a brand new course led by our anti-fraud expert Jo Kremers.

Have you ever wondered how anti-fraud controls are carried out in European harbours? Are you curious to know how port authorities inspect container cargoes to detect smuggling and other illegal activities?

Thanks to a special collaboration with Dutch Customs officers, we can take our participants to conduct on-the-spot observations and investigations in the Customs Training Centre in the Port of Rotterdam. These outdoor activities will be combined with lectures and presentations, which aim to help you improve your own skills in fraud-detecting and risk management.

Join us in Rotterdam for a unique learning experience!

Participants receive a certificate upon participation.

Starting from € 2750,- (excl. VAT)

+++ Group discounts are available! More under Details +++

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.
