Webinar Series: Fighting Fraud and Corruption in Public Finance: Building Vigilance and Ethical Compliance
As African governments deepen fiscal reforms and embrace digital public financial management, the persistent challenge of fraud and corruption continues to undermine accountability, weaken trust, and divert resources from national development priorities. This AAAG webinar will spotlight the urgent need to build vigilance and strengthen ethical compliance in public finance as a safeguard for fiscal integrity and sustainable growth.
Through expert insights and country experiences, the session will explore how governments can establish robust anti-fraud mechanisms, foster a culture of integrity, and equip institutions to detect, prevent, and respond to corruption risks in financial management systems.
