The Anti-Fraud Measures Plan sets forth the principles for management, prevention, detection, correction, and pursuit of fraud and corruption within the CENIEH arising out of the implementation of European funds, whether these are labeled Next Generation or are of other types, which the CENIEH aspires to or could receive, and likewise includes the measures for prevention, detection and correction of situations of conflicts of interest that could be posed by the implementation of those funds. The documents associated to this Anti-Fraud Measures Plan are as follows:

It includes the two forms for Declaration of Absence of Conflicts of Interest (DACI 1 and DACI 2) to be completed by those intervening in the procedures: both by the contracting body, assisting bodies and staff participating in the management or implementation of funds, and by contractors and final beneficiaries of the funds.

▪ Protocol for action when there is suspicion of fraud and disciplinary regime
