Workshop on preventing fraud and corruption in the ESI Funds on 13 September 2018

The European Commission is committed to ensure the efficient and transparent use of the ESI funds by helping Member States put in place effective and proportionate anti-fraud measures. Therefore in December 2016 DG REGIO commissioned the study "Preventing fraud and corruption in the European Structural and Investment Funds – taking stock of practices in the EU Member States". The objective of this assignment is to take stock of and disseminate information on the measures that authorities responsible for the management of ESIF have established in order to prevent and detect fraud and corruption in the period 2014–2020. The implementation of the assignment was entrusted to PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

This workshop will be the closing event of the above mentioned assignment. At the workshop  PwC will present the Synthesis Report of the Study and a Compendium of practices applied by Member States. The workshop will facilitate the sharing of anti-fraud practices and experiences both among Member State authorities and between Member States and the Commission. Representatives of Commission Services, including DG REGIO, will be present to engage with participants in a dialogue about a wide range of anti-fraud tools and good practice measures.

A detailed agenda will be shared in the weeks to come.
