Summary of publication
This toolkit provides DFAT's delivery partners (including service providers and funding recipients) with guidance on developing and implementing fraud and corruption control strategies. The capacity of organisations to prevent, detect, investigate and respond to fraud and corruption can vary. The toolkit has been developed to:
- help service providers and funding recipients manage fraud and corruption and highlight emerging fraud and corruption risks
- promote collaboration between DFAT and its service providers and funding recipients when it comes to dealing with fraud and corruption
- ensure all occurrences of fraud and corruption are reported and addressed promptly in accordance with contractual obligations; and
- help improve service providers and funding recipients' knowledge of how fraud and corruption might occur and what they can do about managing fraud and corruption risks.
DFAT emphasises to its staff the importance of actively working with service providers and funding recipients to ensure they are managing fraud and corruption risks. In pursuit of this shared commitment, DFAT expects these organisations to establish measures that prevent, detect and respond to fraud and corruption. While it is not mandatory for service providers and funding recipients to use the tools included in this toolkit, these organisations are obligated to clearly document and demonstrate their efforts in preventing, detecting and correcting fraud and corruption in accordance with the obligations in their arrangements with DFAT.
