The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency and IMSERSO promote public integrity through a training session

València, 11 june 2025.- Over 50 professionals from the Institute for the Elderly and Social Services (IMSERSO) participated in the training session “Integrity and the Fight Against Corruption: Law 2/2023,” organized by the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF) as part of IMSERSO’s internal training plan for 2025.

 

The activity, delivered by the AVAF’s Training Department, included participation from staff of the IMSERSO’s Subdirectorate General for Planning, Organisation and Evaluation, as well as several national reference centers, including CEAPAT, the Rare Diseases Center in Burgos, the Center for the Recovery of People with Physical Disabilities (CRMF), and the Alzheimer and Other Dementias Center in Salamanca, among others.

 

Key topics covered during the session included the institutional integrity system, the importance of fostering a culture of integrity in public administration, major risks of fraud and corruption, and the whistleblower protection mechanisms established in Law 2/2023 on the protection of persons reporting regulatory violations and combating corruption.

 

The session concluded with a participatory workshop on conflict of interest, which allowed attendees to deepen their understanding of how to detect and properly manage such conflicts in the public sector.

 

Through this initiative, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency strengthens its role in supporting and advising public institutions in the promotion of integrity—this time with IMSERSO, a body under the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030.
