Last week, from 27-30 September, IACA delivered a four-day tailor-made training for the Independent Authority Against Corruption (IAAC) of Mongolia. The training took place at the Academy’s campus in Laxenburg, Austria, and brought together 9 participants from the IAAC and other institutions tasked with fighting corruption in Mongolia.

This training, which focused on anti-corruption trends, was conducted by leading international experts, including: Mr. Balázs Garamvölgyi (anti-corruption analyst at the OECD Anti-Corruption Division), Dr. Victoria Jennett (senior consultant at GFA Consulting Group), Mr. Georg Krakow (partner and head of litigation & regulatory compliance at DLA Piper), Mr. Michael Schön (senior public prosecutor at the Austrian Central Office for Prosecuting Economic Crimes and Corruption), and Ms. Elisabeth Täubl (spokesperson and senior public prosecutor at the Austrian Central Office for Prosecuting Economic Crimes and Corruption). The participants were introduced to the works of the Austrian Federal Bureau of Anti-Corruption (BAK) by Mr. Bernhard Schneider, and had a study visit to the Austrian Central Office for Prosecuting Economic Crimes and Corruption (WKStA), guided by Mr. Bernhard Weratschnig.

Thematic highlights included investigation of public figures, criminal procedure in the judicial system, whistleblower protection, innovation in corruption case proceedings, white-collar crime investigation and prosecution, corruption risks in the judiciary, and promoting ethics, integrity, and accountability in the judiciary.

Tailor-made trainings are the Academy’s customized programmes for specific organizations, corporations, or institutions, addressing the unique challenges that each one faces in preventing and fighting corruption.  For more information about the Academy’s tailor-made training programmes, click here.
