UNDP Anti-Fraud Policy

Jointly prepared by the Bureau of Management, the Office of Audit and Investigations and the Ethics Office, this updated UNDP Anti-Fraud Policy (which supersedes the previous policy statement codified since 2005), reaffirms that UNDP adopts a zero tolerance policy against frauds and other corrupt practices that are inconsistent with the UN Standard of Conduct or involve a loss to UNDP funds. This Anti-Fraud Policy applies to all activities and operations of UNDP. It covers any project funded by UNDP, any project implemented by UNDP, and any implementing partner. It  covers fraud or allegations of frauds involving UNDP staff members and its personnel, including but not limited to consultants, service contract holders (SCs), individual contractors (ICs) , interns, and United Nations volunteers (UNVs) as well as frauds perpetrated against UNDP by contractors, suppliers of goods and services, implementing partners, or other third parties.
