The Accounting Chamber took part in the evaluation of 16 papers submitted by auditors from different countries within the framework of the competition of research papers in the field of the fight against corruption. This event was organised by the Working Group on the Fight Against Corruption and Money Laundering (WGFACML) of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The Secretariat of this Working Group has selected the Accounting Chamber and SAIs of two other countries as evaluators of these research papers.
The aim of the competition is to promote research and knowledge exchange among Supreme Audit Institutions in this area in order to strengthen transparency, integrity and efficiency in the fight against global challenges such as corruption and money laundering.
The evaluation group of the Accounting Chamber was headed by the Acting Secretary of the Accounting Chamber - Chief of Staff Vasyl Nevidomyi. The group also included a Member of the Accounting Chamber, Yelyzaveta Pushko-Tsybuliak, and experts in key areas of activity, in particular those with academic degrees in public administration, law and economics.
'The evaluation was based on 11 criteria, with the top performers being the works on the risks of corruption in the field of artificial intelligence and cybercrime, the implementation of forensic audit and innovative solutions in the field of the fight against money laundering,' said Yelyzaveta Pushko-Tsybuliak.
The Accounting Chamber considered the summarised results of the evaluation at its meeting on 8th of April and sent them to the Secretariat of the WGFACML INTOSAI.
The results of the competition will be announced during the 18th Annual Meeting of the WGFACML INTOSAI, which will be held from the 1st to the 4th of July 2025 in the Republic of Poland.
As a reminder, in 2024, Member of the Accounting Chamber Yelyzaveta Pushko-Tsybuliak took part in the 17th meeting of the INTOSAI WGFACML, during which she presented the contribution of the Accounting Chamber on the topic of disclosure of circumstances containing signs of corruption offences during audits.
