Approach to risks and prevention of corruption designed by the Consello de Contas de Galicia. Reference to local financial control

Abstract

The Consello de Contas is aware of the need for the public entities of Galicia to have an adequate internal control system that guarantees the detection and assessment of risks, which allows the management of the different administrations to have a perfect knowledge of these circumstances to be able to make directed decisions both to reduce the possibilities that the risks occur and that their consequences are assumable. In this environment, the Consello de Contas de Galicia has designed a methodology for risk management and the prevention of corruption.
