Alfara del Patriarca. – April 16, 2024

The students of the Administrative Law subject in the Law and Political Sciences degrees at the UCH CEU have participated in the #DocuforumAVAF activity of the Training Service of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency.

The more than 50 students watched “Corruption: harmful organism” from Pandora Box and expressed their doubts and questions about the reality shown by the documentary in relation to the fraud and corruption that exists in some public administrations.

The training technician, Pilar Moreno, visited the UCH CEU last Tuesday, April 16, with the aim of presenting the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency to young university students and its most notable functions.

The means and controls developed by the administration to avoid cases of fraud and corruption, as well as the consequences generated in the public sector itself were some of the doubts raised by the students.

The management of conflicts of interest, along with the role played by transparency regulations and the way in which society and the economy are affected by corruption, were also issues in which youth showed interest.

Tools such as the AVAF reporting channel and the protection offered to corruption whistleblowers highlighted the work carried out by the Agency.

The presence of the AVAF at the CEU Cardenal Herrera was possible thanks to the collaboration of Professor Elena Juaristi, university professor of the subject of Administrative Law.

The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, with this activity, once again expresses its commitment to the education of the leaders of tomorrow who are present today in the university classrooms of the Valencian Community.
