The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency begins its local training program with a session on the culture of prevention at the Almassora City Council.#TrainingAVAF

Almassora.- January 21, 2025. The session “Culture of Prevention: Strategies for an Integral Administration,” held in collaboration with the Almassora City Council, was the first training activity for local public employees in 2025.

 

The opening remarks were delivered by the city council’s general auditor, Javier de Miguel, who coordinated the training.

 

Anselm Bodoque, acting coordinator of the Training, Participation, Communication, and Relations with Other Entities Area of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF), presented the Valencian regulatory and institutional framework for combating corruption and the functions of the Agency.

 

Pilar Moreno, a technician in the area, analyzed the risks and challenges of public procurement, emphasizing prevention policies in local administration.

 

The lack of planning has been identified as one of the main risks in decision-making within local administration. Understanding the risks that could endanger the effectiveness and efficiency guiding the work of public institutions strengthens the public sector.

 

Marita Oliver, a technician in the Training Area of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, shared updates and obligations introduced by Law 2/2023 regarding internal reporting systems and external channels.

 

Proper management of conflicts of interest was one of the topics that garnered the most interest among participants. This risk scenario, where the private, clientelist, or family interests of a public decision-maker could interfere with their professional duties in the service of citizens, is one of the key issues to address.

 

A total of 42 public employees participated in the training session—28 women and 14 men—from various fields such as local police, auditing, procurement, and human resources, among others.

 

With this session, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency begins its 2025 training programs aimed at local public employees, focusing on fraud prevention and promoting public integrity and ethics. The Training Area extends its gratitude to the Almassora City Council for its interest and commitment in organizing this session.
