Alfara del Patriarca, 30 March 2026.– The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF) maintains its training strategy in institutional integrity through the holding of a new #DocuforumAVAF at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University to raise awareness among future legal personnel.

During the activity, Pilar Moreno, Training Technician at the AVAF, explained the operation of the information channels, the legal guarantees of confidentiality and protection, as well as the different phases of the investigation procedures processed by the Agency. The Valencian Community was presented as a pioneering environment in the protection of whistleblowers of bad practices in the public sector.

 

The meeting generated a high level of participation, with special interest on the part of the students in issues such as the anonymity of informants and the management of complaints. This new edition has been possible thanks to the collaboration of Professor Elena Juaristi.

 

With initiatives such as #DocuforumAVAF, the AVAF brings the current challenges of public ethics, transparency and the defence of the general interest closer to the university environment.
