Risk Management

The integrity of the public administration is of central importance for a state governed by the rule of law. Corruption can cause great damage and seriously affects the reputation of the state. The state government of Rhineland-Palatinate is therefore actively trying to prevent corruption in the administration. Rhineland-Palatinate takes full action against corruption, to ward off damage to the state and to protect its reputable contractual partners.

The main elements of the program for the prevention of corruption are set out in an administrative regulation issued by the state government on January 22, 2019. The website provides the administrative regulation with its annexes, guidelines and Q6A.

The guideline for risk management corruption was introduced with the 2019 administrative regulation. A flowchart for risk analysis corruption can be found via the website as well as excel sheets and templates to conduct the necessary risk analysis (Attachment 1 to Annex 1)

Die Integrität der öffentlichen Verwaltung ist für einen Rechtsstaat von zentraler Bedeutung. Korruption kann großen Schaden anrichten und beeinträchtigt das Ansehen des Staates erheblich. Die rheinland-pfälzische Landesregierung versucht daher aktiv, Korruption in der Verwaltung zu verhindern. Rheinland-Pfalz geht konsequent gegen Korruption vor, um Schaden vom Land abzuwenden und seine seriösen Vertragspartner zu schützen.

Die wesentlichen Elemente des Programms zur Korruptionsprävention sind in einer Verwaltungsvorschrift der Landesregierung vom 22. Januar 2019 festgelegt. Auf der Website finden Sie die Verwaltungsvorschrift mit ihren Anhängen, Richtlinien und Q6A.

Carrying out a risk management process for integrity is a complex task for public institutions. For this reason, the Anti-Fraud Office  of Catalonia (Spain) makes risk management tools available to public managers to facilitate the process. The essential and complete risk management tools we share in the OECD Integrity Toolkit, aims at guiding them in this preventive task.

The Guide has two main tools:

• A roadmap to apply the methodology of risk assessment of the main risk areas in public management: procurement, human resources management, subsudies, urban planning, and budget management,
• The main output of four years of risk analysis in public procurement processes. The diagnosis establishes 12 main risk areas in the three phases of procurement process: preparation, awarding and execution. Main factors are considered human, organizational, operational, procedural, external -laws and regulation-).

Integrity in public procurement is crucial to ensure that public money is spent efficiently and effectively, where it is most needed. As a strategic area of governance, with overarching impact on the whole of society, public procurement needs to be equipped with robust anti-corruption safeguards, tailored to its specific risks. To this end, the French Anti-Corruption Agency (AFA) and the Department for Public Procurement (DAE) published a guide on how to manage corruption risks in the public procurement cycle. Combining the inputs of both ethics and procurement practitioners, this guide aims to help public sector entities to design, develop, and implement effective corruption prevention systems, while raising integrity standards and promoting professionalism in public procurement.
