Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training in Amman

Programme Overview

This programme gives officials and project teams the practical methods of anti-corruption, integrity and asset declarations, built around real cases from public institutions and donor-financed projects.

Public bodies and donor-financed projects are expected to show that funds are used for their intended purpose. Auditors, oversight bodies and financiers increasingly look beyond the financial statements to the controls, records and behaviours behind them.

It is designed for participants from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and colleagues from other countries facing the same challenges.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Amman, Jordan, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

The Programme Strengthens Institutional Capability

• Fraud, error and corruption: definitions and differences
• Why people commit fraud: pressure, opportunity and rationalisation
• Common fraud schemes in public bodies and projects
• The cost of fraud to institutions and services
• Case discussion: how a scheme went undetected
• Identifying fraud risks process by process
• Rating likelihood and impact
• Building a fraud risk register
• Fraud risk assessment and fraud risk registers
• Design and testing of internal controls
• The Three Lines model and the role of oversight
• Audit planning, evidence and documentation

It is designed for internal auditors and audit managers, finance managers and accountants, compliance and risk officers and others who want practical, current skills in fraud, audit and internal control.

The Growing Importance of Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations

Public bodies and donor-financed projects are expected to show that funds are used for their intended purpose. Auditors, oversight bodies and financiers increasingly look beyond the financial statements to the controls, records and behaviours behind them.

Fraud and control weaknesses rarely come from one failure. They grow where roles are unclear, records are incomplete and warning signs are not followed up. Teams that understand how fraud happens, and how controls stop it, protect both their institution and the people it serves.

Organisations increasingly require professionals capable of:

• Identify and rate fraud and control risks in their own processes
• Design controls that are proportionate and testable
• Gather and document reliable audit evidence
• Recognise red flags early and escalate them correctly
• Turn findings into practical, agreed actions

Strong fraud, audit and internal control systems help organisations:

• Reduce losses and ineligible expenditure
• Pass external audits with fewer findings
• Strengthen trust with financiers and citizens
• Respond to allegations in a fair and documented way

This Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations programme brings these elements together in a practical format, so that participants understand not only what good practice looks like but also how to introduce it in their own setting, with the people and resources they have.

Who Should Attend This Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training?

This programme is designed for:

• Internal auditors and audit managers
• Finance managers and accountants
• Compliance and risk officers
• Procurement officers and managers
• Project and programme managers
• Project implementation unit (PIU) staff
• Audit committee and board members
• Inspectors and oversight body staff
• Integrity and anti-corruption officers
• Directors responsible for governance

The programme suits experienced professionals as well as those moving into new responsibilities. Groups that mix institutions and countries are encouraged, because participants learn a great deal from each other’s experience.

Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training Objectives

Upon successful completion of this Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training, participants will be able to:

• Explain how and why fraud happens, using recognised fraud risk models
• Carry out a fraud and control risk assessment for a real process
• Map controls to risks using the Three Lines model
• Plan an audit or review and choose suitable tests
• Recognise common red flags in procurement, payments and payroll
• Document evidence that stands up to review
• Write clear findings with agreed management actions
• Set up follow-up so that actions are completed
• Promote an ethical culture and safe reporting channels

Each objective is practised during the programme through exercises, cases or group work, so that participants leave able to do it, not only to describe it.

Programme Contents and Structure

Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training Methodology

The programme is practical and participatory. Expert facilitators introduce concepts and current practice, and participants apply them straight away through discussion, exercises and work on real cases.

The programme combines:

• Expert-led sessions on current practice
• Regional and international case studies
• Group work and practical exercises
• Simulations and role plays where relevant
• Discussion of participants' own challenges
• Peer learning across institutions and countries
• Practical tools and templates to take back to work
• Daily reflection and action planning

Before the programme, a short pre-assessment helps the facilitators understand each participant’s role and priorities, so that examples and exercises can be adjusted to the group. Each day ends with a short reflection in which participants note what they will apply at work.

Expected Outcomes

Upon completion of this Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training, participants will be able to:

• Assess fraud and control risks in their own processes
• Design and test proportionate controls
• Recognise red flags and escalate them correctly
• Document reliable evidence
• Report findings that lead to agreed action
• Lead practical improvements in their institution

Participants leave with a personal action plan and practical tools they can use in their institution from the first week back. Institutions that send several participants can use the programme to agree shared methods and templates across teams, which makes improvements easier to sustain.

Institutional Application of Anti-Corruption, Integrity and Asset Declarations Training

This programme supports organisations in strengthening:

• Fraud and corruption risk management
• Internal control frameworks
• Audit and oversight arrangements
• Follow-up of audit findings
• Integrity and reporting channels

Participants return with practical tools to improve:

• Risk registers and control maps
• Audit planning and testing
• Evidence and documentation
• Reporting to management and boards
• Prevention of ineligible expenditure

The programme is built so that learning moves from the classroom into the institution. Participants work on their own processes and documents where possible, and leave with an action plan that their managers can review and support.

Regional Relevance & Application

Europe

European institutions apply fraud, audit and internal control within detailed regulatory frameworks and reform agendas. Participants from Europe can compare their practice with colleagues from other regions and test how established methods work under different conditions.

Africa

Across Africa, ministries, agencies and project teams working in fraud, audit and internal control increasingly operate alongside donor-financed programmes that expect clear systems and evidence. The programme helps participants adapt good practice to the institutions and resources they work with.

Middle East

In the Middle East, national development strategies and diversification plans place growing demands on fraud, audit and internal control. Participants explore how to build the capability these plans need inside public bodies and companies.

Asia

Institutions across Asia combine rapid growth with ambitious modernisation programmes. Participants from Asia can share their experience of scaling systems quickly and learn from approaches used elsewhere.

Pacific

Small island and Pacific states face particular constraints of size, distance and capacity. The programme highlights practical, proportionate approaches to fraud, audit and internal control that suit smaller institutions.

Holding the programme in Amman, Jordan brings participants together away from their daily pressures, so they can compare how fraud, audit and internal control is handled in different settings. The same programme can also be delivered in-house for one institution, in its own country or online, with cases taken from its current work.
