As part the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the OECD, OECD Internal Audit and the OECD Public Governance and Territorial Development Directorate, in partnership with the Institut Français de l’Audit et du Contrôle Internes (IFACI), the French Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA) organised a Seminar on: Internal Control and Internal Audit: Ensuring Public Sector Integrity and Accountability, which was held on 13 April 2011 at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris.
Fostering integrity and combating fraud and corruption in the Public Sector is a challenge for Governments and Public Administrations, particularly in times of economic crisis. To succeed, Executives in Public Administrations must be equipped with appropriate, effective and efficient instruments. How can Internal Control and Internal Audit contribute to safeguard integrity, and prevent Fraud and Corruption?
The Seminar offered a unique opportunity to share experience, to debate on means to address this challenge, and to identify good practices with key actors:
