The National Transparency Authority has been a member of the Law Enforcement and Government Alliance (LEGA) since yesterday following a letter from LEGA and the Association Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
LEGA is an international alliance of public bodies active in law enforcement and anti-corruption. The alliance comprises a diverse range of international agencies, including the FBI, the City of London Police and the United Nations Office for Project Service, Internal Audit and Investigation Group, representing countries across the globe, such as the USA, UK, UAE, Canada and Singapore. The LEGA’s core objective is to prevent and deter fraud and corruption at the international level. It is also one of the leading developers of methodological standards and tools on cybercrime, fraud, money laundering, and other related areas.
The NTA’s inclusion in LEGA is expected to further enhance the exchange of expertise on corruption issues through the Authority’s participation in international networks of anti-corruption prevention and anti-corruption bodies. It will also enrich the Authority’s professional standards and procedures with the aim of continuously improving its operational capacity, as well as developing and upgrading the knowledge and skills of its staff.
