  • the Valencian entities have ethical and conduct codes with a minimum legal content
  • the Valencian integrity system take into account in its design both the identification of the most relevant public identity risks and the prevention plans
  • and that public administrations adopt measures that promote a culture of planning and evaluation of services and public policies.

Amparo Martí, head of the Agency’s expert unit, announced the obligations related to the complaint mailboxes that all local entities of the Valencian Community must have and as the external complaint mailbox of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, complies as External mailbox for each and every one of the more than 500 local entities in the territory. To questions from the attendees, the mechanisms for the protection of whistleblowers and the current regulations on the matter were also addressed.
