#AVAFTraining
Caceres. – November 6, 2023
The work and experience of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency has been present in the course “Reporting channels at the local level: proposals, difficulties and solutions for the application of the Law regulating the protection of people who report regulatory infractions” organized by the Provincial Council of Cáceres and the National Institute of Public Administration.
Pilar Moreno García, training technician at the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, gave the first of the sessions, on November 6, where she presented a global approach to international, European and state policies in the fight against corruption and the most outstanding issues of the new Law 2/2023, of February 20, regulating the protection of people who report regulatory infractions and the fight against corruption
The difficulties of applying Law 2/2023 and the proposals for compliance in small and medium-sized local entities were also developed, along with the impact of the personal data protection regulations on the application of the new Law.
Integrity systems, which need to be implemented in small and medium-sized local entities, were other issues addressed throughout the session, along with a checklist to assess the degree of compliance with the integrity strategy in small and medium-sized local entities.
In the 5-hour session held in the Assembly Hall of the Pintores Building of the Provincial Council of Cáceres, in the city of Extremadura, the workshop on conflicts of interest that is regularly carried out by the Training Service of the AVAF.
The training aroused great interest among the more than 60 attendees and proof of this was the large number of questions asked throughout the session, among which those related to the reality of small and medium-sized local entities for compliance with the law and the system stand out of integrity.
The approval of Law 2/2023 and the obligations it entails for small and medium-sized local entities requires training on it for public employees who provide their services in municipalities with up to 20,000 inhabitants.
With the aim of approximating the new reality for local entities with smaller populations in terms of protection of informants, internal information systems and promotion of integrity among public employees who provide services in small and medium-sized local entities, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency has participated in this 26-hour course.
