Enhancing the Performance of Government Employees to Detect and Prevent Financial Corruption

In line with the state’s accelerated efforts to enhance development and consolidate integrity, transparency, and governance in financial performance, the Civil Service Bureau and the Financial Oversight Authority have developed an extensive training program plan to elevate the performance of employees in ministries and affiliated and independent entities, aiming to strengthen the concept and practice of financial and governmental accounting, and to enhance capacities to combat corruption and money laundering.

These initiatives include developing skills in the efficient management of public resources through the analysis of data and financial transactions to detect abnormal or suspicious patterns, identify indicators and manifestations of financial corruption, and promote transparency, financial compliance, and decision-making within government entities, while improving provided services and acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills in the field of anti-money laundering.

Among the target groups for development are officials of procurement, practices, and tendering committees in government entities, with plans to improve planning, bidding, and award procedures to ensure the highest levels of efficiency, transparency, and integrity, and to rationalize public spending, in accordance with best practices and approved standards.

Keeping pace with the latest technological trends and achieving excellence in financial auditing amid technological developments, training will focus on integrating artificial intelligence into accounting and auditing strategies to reduce human errors and enhance review processes, while managing financial risks more effectively to strengthen compliance and transparency.
