OLAF’s investigative mandate
within the EU institutions

OLAF has a unique mandate to carry out internal investigations into the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies for the purpose of fighting fraud, corruption, malpractice and any other illegal activity affecting the financial interests of the EU. OLAF makes sure that EU taxpayers’ money is properly spent and also defends the reputation of the EU as a whole from a perceived lack of institutional integrity.
