Abstract :

A fraud perpetrated by a staff member in an ITU Regional Office was investigated in 2018 by ITU Internal Audit Unit (IAU). On 3 May 2019, the BDT Director set up an internal working group to strengthen controls across ITU. The rationale for this working group is diverse: the fraud case in a regional office, the follow-up work undertaken by the Internal Audit Unit and the External Auditor, the need to coordinate work across different ITU services and units and the inspection work in the Regional/Area Office activities.
