Building Institutions to Fight Corruption

BIFC

TARGET AUDIENCE | The course targets a diverse pool of professionals from Ministries of Finance, Central Banks and other key public agencies including the Leader/President/Prime Minister's Office, the Supreme Audit Institution, the Anti-Corruption Commission, and the Accountant General's Office. These agencies are critical in shaping and implementing a country's anticorruption strategy and policies. Applicants are expected to be mid-to senior level qualified professionals with several years of experience of policy making and/or working on addressing vulnerabilities to corruption in the fiscal area.

DESCRIPTION | The five-day workshop - presented by IMF staff and guest speakers - sets out a detailed road map to identify and address vulnerabilities to corruption in the public financial management cycle. It will cover systems and institutions for both revenue and expenditure management. It will also present indicators and red flags that can alert policy makers and oversight agencies of possible challenges and weaknesses, and the potential macro-fiscal implications and costs of corruption. This course aims at helping country authorities build their institutions and skills to fight corruption.

Participants are expected to actively contribute to presentations on country practices and exercises. Peer learning will be an essential element of the workshop.

OBJECTIVES | Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Identify instruments, mechanisms, and strategies that need to be in place to build strong fiscal institutions to prevent corruption.

• Better understand the need for a strong rule of law and how it relates to corruption and governance vulnerabilities.
