The Agency participates in the delivery of the Infoparticipa Stamps that CEU University grants to the most transparent municipalities and councils


Friday, 11 November, 2022.- The Observatory of Governance, Transparency and CSR of the CEU Cardenal Herrera University (CEU UCH) delivered the Infoparticipa Stamps to the most transparent municipalities and councils in the Valencian Community.

 

After evaluating during 2021 a total of 52 transparency indicators on the websites of Valencian local entities, only 6 of the 542 Valencian municipalities and 2 of the 3 councils have met the requirements to obtain this Seal that accredits their transparency.

 

The rector of CEU UCH, Vicente Navarro de Luján, presided over the award ceremony, held in the auditorium of the Alfara del Patriarca campus. The mayors and councilors of the municipalities of Onda, Denia, Rafelbunyol, Elche, Valencia and Gandía, and representatives of the Provincial Councils of Valencia and Alicante have collected the Infoparticipa 2021 Stamps.

 

Together with the rector of the CEU UCH, the ceremony was chaired by the regional secretary of Participation and Transparency of the Generalitat Valenciana, Antoni Llorente; the deputy of Open Government and Participation of the Diputación de Valencia, Mentxu Balaguer; the head of the Transparency Service of the Diputación de Alicante, Antoni Canet; and the director of Analysis and Research of the Agència Valenciana Antifrau, Gustavo Segura.

 

The municipality of Onda, with 52 indicators, is the municipality of the Valencian Community that has the highest percentage of compliance (100%), followed by Gandía which, with 51 indicators, reaches 98% compliance.

 

Valencia and Elche, with 50 indicators, reach 96% compliance. Denia, with 47 indicators (90%), and Rafelbunyol, with 46 indicators and 88% compliance, complete the list of municipalities that have received the Infoparticipa 2021 seal at CEU UCH.

 

As in previous editions of the study, the CEU UCH Observatory has also analyzed the websites of the three provincial councils: both the Provincial Council of Valencia and the Provincial Council of Alicante comply with 47 indicators (96%) of transparency.

 

For its part, the Provincial Council of Castellón, with 27 indicators and 55.10% compliance, does not reach the level necessary to obtain the Seal in this 2021 edition.

 

The Infoparticipa methodology
The Infoparticipa Stamps are awarded in the Valencian Community by the Observatory of Governance, Transparency and CSR of the CEU UCH, together with the ComSET Research Group (Sound, Strategic Communication and Transparency) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, following the methodology of the Infoparticipa Map (https://www.mapainfoparticipa.com/index/mapa/), where the results of the Valencian Community are integrated.

The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency maintains its presence in the classrooms of the Faculty of Law of the University of Valencia

The activities of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency in the universities of the Valencian Community are becoming more and more frequent. In the 2022-2023 academic year, the Faculty of Law of the University of Valencia has included the University Docufòrum activity in collaboration with the AVAF in the Center Innovation Project (PIC).

The #DocufòrumAVAF is an activity aimed at promoting a social culture of civic ethics, public integrity, prevention of fraud and rejection of corruption among students of all degrees at the University.

On this occasion, two #DocufòrumAVAF have been held at the Faculty of Law, on Tuesday, November 8 and Wednesday, November 9, 2022, with the participation of 90 students of the Skills and Skills subject from two different courses of the Criminology Degree, with the collaboration of Professor Vicenta Tasa Fuster.

After watching the documentary Corruption: Harmful Organism, the students star in the training experience through questions, focused on the origin and causes of corruption, its effect and costs, the perception of corruption in our society and with respect to other countries of our environment, what to do in cases of corruption.

In the debate, issues related to public ethics and integrity were also discussed, as well as prevention policies and civic education or the functions and work carried out by the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency.

The students especially insisted on the consequences of corruption in institutions and in our society, the punitive part and the judicial system, the recovery of assets, as well as the role of criminologists in the fight against fraud and corruption.

The activity has been organized in collaboration with the University of Valencia, which we thank for its interest and willingness to help create a culture of public integrity and rejection of fraud and corruption.

If you are a university, secondary or high school teacher and you are interested in having the training activity “Docufòrum: Corruption, harmful organism” carried out in your subject, do not hesitate to contact the Training Service of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency through from formacion@antifraucv.es.
