It also serves as a forum for exchanging and sharing experiences regarding new tools and techniques for combating corruption and various forms of fraud.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of these two days, OLAF experts presented several topics to the participants. The European Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (EPPO) has taken stock of its relations with third countries. Tomasz Trych of OLAF gave a presentation on the legal aspects of cooperation in investigations into fraud and corruption.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorenzo Piazza, the lead investigator, presented the ongoing fraud investigations being handled by his B4 unit, as well as potential areas of cooperation with anti-corruption authorities in OLAF\u2019s partner countries.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OLAF Unit C.1, which is responsible for anti-corruption and anti-fraud strategies and analysis, presented anti-fraud strategies focused on identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks (including prevention, detection, and correction) through effective and efficient internal controls. In addition, the interview techniques used by OLAF in anti-fraud investigations and audits were presented to the participants at this meeting of the OLAF\/FIGE pilot group.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two days of discussions and exchanges also gave FIGE participants and member institutions the opportunity to share with OLAF panels their investigative, auditing, monitoring, and inspection work, as well as the techniques and procedures they use in their day-to-day work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 10th meeting of the Steering Group, organized by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the Directorate-General for Development and Cooperation (DEVCO), took place at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels on June 27\u201328, 2022.
