The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency publishes a Catalogue of risks in the Valencian public sector instrumental of the Generalitat Valenciana

Valencia, 17 November 2025.– The Agency for the Prevention and Fight against Fraud and Corruption of the Valencian Community (AVAF) publishes the Catalogue of Risks Contrary to Integrity in the Instrumental Public Sector of the Generalitat Valenciana, warning of serious breaches in personnel and recruitment.

 

This document is presented as a preventive measure and aims to avoid the perpetuation of flagrant breaches of the legal system within the instrumental entities of the Generalitat. Its issuance fulfils the functions of carrying out studies and analysis of prior risks attributed to the AVAF by Law 11/2016.

 

The catalogue addresses the main risks arising from administrative decentralisation and the trend towards the “flight from administrative law” in this sector, a situation that, although it should serve for the effective and efficient satisfaction of the general interests, is compromised by non-compliance in all areas of management. Despite the control efforts of other bodies such as the Audit Office or the General Intervention of the Generalitat, many of these breaches are repeated year after year.

 

The catalogue identifies a series of serious risks based on the analysis of reports from the General Intervention of the Generalitat Valenciana, the Audit Office, the General Inspectorate of Services and the complaints processed by the AVAF itself.

 

The risks analysed focus on the areas of personnel and public function, contracting, asset management, subsidies and economic-financial management.

 

The AVAF underlines the importance of identifying risks and adopting plans for their management, which is a legal obligation, especially within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (Order HFP/1030/2021). In addition, the widespread non-compliance with Law 1/2022 on Transparency and Good Governance is recalled, since a large part of the entities still lack codes of ethics and conduct.

 

The AVAF Catalogue not only details areas of risk (such as the lack of a self-assessment system or outdated operational processes), but also offers a set of controls designed to mitigate identified risks, such as the need to process files electronically and the approval of annual recruitment plans.

 

The Agency reiterates the need to put into practice the culture of public integrity at all levels, implementing integrity plans, codes of ethics and whistleblowing channels, in order to minimise irregularities arising from practices contrary to the general interest.
