The Managing Authority (MA) being responsible for putting in place effective and proportionate anti-fraud measures has elaborated the Manual with tips and recommendations as to actions to prevent, identify, and respond to suspicions of fraud in Programme and project implementation.

The main idea behind this Manual is to communicate that no types of fraud will be tolerated within and outside the implementation system. It is addressed at all institutions involved in Programme and project implementation including the MA, the JTS and beneficiaries. The presented tips and recommendations do not impose new obligations on the institutions, they only highlight common tasks resulting from the law that must be performed by all national institutions.
