Objective
The overall objective of the OLAF Anti-Fraud Strategy is to improve the prevention and detection of fraud, as well as the conditions for its investigation, whilst achieving an adequate level of reparation and deterrence. Private entities, Member States and ultimately the European Union itself face an ever-increasing range of challenges within the financial crime arena.As a result, there is a growing focus on making greater use of intelligence and methods that help prevent fraud rather than just responding to them.
This event will scrutinise how the use of intelligence can lead to preventive actions, improve detection and make investigations more efficient and effective in combating fraud affecting the EU’s financial interests.
