In an unwavering commitment to uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability, civil servants from across four (4) Government Ministries: the Ministry of Border Control & Labour, Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Investment, Innovation and Social Development are participating in intense training workshops over ten days which focus on detecting and preventing fraud, corruption, and bribery. This initiative is poised to equip some two hundred (200) civil servants in Finance or Managerial positions with the knowledge and tools necessary to combat these illicit activities effectively.

The firm conducting the training is Teneo - the local branch of a Global Financial Advisory firm whose experienced team is no stranger to working with the Government. The training workshops go beyond traditional topics by delving into modern challenges such as cyber-crimes/fraud, contemporary corruption, and bribery. Recognising the evolving landscape of illicit activities, the training will provide participants with up-to-date information on current global trends, issues, and new techniques in the fight against fraud.

Each year, fraud schemes grow more sophisticated, weaving through the cracks of defences, exploiting the unsuspecting, and often leaving victims in the wake. Therefore, this anti-fraud training is essential for staff to be armed with knowledge to protect the organisation's assets.

“As stewards of public trust, civil servants must be well-equipped to tackle the ever-evolving threats of fraud, corruption, and bribery. Your role is critical, and your vigilance is the barrier between would-be fraudsters and potential victims," said Minister of Labour, Hon Isaac Rankine.
