Dear Gert,
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the OECD Central
Harmonisation Function (CHF) meeting on 25 March 2025, at the OECD
headquarters in Paris, France (in-person).
The CHF meeting is the first step to building an interactive community of
experts on the topic that breaks down silos of units responsible for such
functions within countries. The meeting will provide a common ground to
stimulate the policy dialogue, setting clear standards on the subject
matter across countries. Please see the draft agenda attached.
The Global Anti-Corruption <https://www.oecd-events.org/gacif/en> &
Integrity Forum (26-27 March) may also be of interest to you. The Forum is
the leading annual multi-stakeholder platform shaping anti-corruption and
integrity dialogue between governments, businesses, and civil society. The
2025 theme of the Forum is “Harnessing innovations to break new ground”
and will explore the role of emerging technologies like artificial
intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital forensics, in disrupting
corrupt practices, strengthening integrity, and enhancing enforcement. The
Forum will emphasise the private sector’s role as a critical partner in
anti-corruption efforts, looking at how public-private partnerships and
tech solutions can enhance supply chain due diligence and prevent fraud.
The single online registration for the 2025 forum will provide you access
to all the events, including the Central Harmonisation Function meeting:

I would be grateful for your soonest confirmation, to participate in the
CHF meeting for what promises to be a fruitful and stimulating dialogue.
If you are not the appropriate representative of the function, please
kindly forward the invitation to the correct contact.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions.
Kind regards,
Darius

OECD Central Harmonisation Function Meeting - Agenda
Internal Control and Internal Audit
25 MARCH 2025
OECD Conference Centre, Room CC2
Background
A Central Harmonisation Function (CHF) plays a key role in the development and enhancement of internal
control, audit and risk management systems. Generally established within the national Ministry of Finance, the
CHF provides unified standards, policies, and guidance for all relevant stakeholders throughout the public sector
and raises awareness about the value of internal control and risk management for decision-making and
achieving organisation goals.
The OECD CHF Meeting serves as an interactive community of experts aiming to break down silos between units
responsible for such functions within countries as well as provide a common ground to stimulate policy dialogue
and set clear standards across countries.
* This in-person event is by invitation only. All session times, placements and speakers are subject to change. All
sessions will take place in English only.
8:15 Badge pick-up and networking
9:00 – 9:10 OPENING REMARKS (OECD)
9:10 – 10:15 SESSION 1
OECD P10 Indicators – Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Internal
Controls from Regulation to Practice
In 2023, the OECD released its Public Integrity Indicators P10 on ‘Effectiveness of Internal Control
and Risk Management’. The Indicators establish a new benchmark for government resilience to
corruption risks and for strengthening public integrity. Based on primary data sources and validated
by countries, the Indicators help bolster global efforts against corruption by providing actionable
data. This session will revisit the role of the CHF within the context of the Indicators. It will also
provide the latest analysis on the effectiveness of internal control and risk management mechanisms
for safeguarding public integrity and discuss steps that have been – or will be – taken by countries
to improve the effectiveness of their respective functions.
10:15 – 11:15 SESSION 2
Assessing Internal Control Effectiveness
Effective internal control systems are crucial to ensure the delivery of public services to citizens.
Both internal control and risk management policies reduce the vulnerability of public organisations
to fraud by supporting officials to adequately assess risks in their respective responsibilities and
develop strategies to manage them. By implementing these relevant controls, public organisations
can effectively mitigate risks, protect public resources, and maintain the integrity necessary to
uphold public trust and confidence. This session will explore how countries develop and
continuously improve their internal control frameworks. This will include sharing tools, key
frameworks and methodologies to evaluate and strengthen internal control systems.

Internal Control and Internal Audit
25 MARCH 2025
OECD Conference Centre, Room CC2
11:15-11:30 Networking and coffee
11:30 – 12:45 SESSION 3
Role of Internal Control and Audit in Preventing and Detecting Fraud
Fraud has a profound impact on the public’s level of trust in its government and political leaders. It
is therefore important that governments preserve trust by taking actions to minimise the risk of
fraud occurrences. This is completed through implementing robust internal controls, ensuring that
policies and procedures are enforced, and raising awareness among employees. This session will
explore the role internal audit can play in tackling fraud by highlighting good practices in relation
to internal control and risk management in the fraud context (including national anti-fraud
strategies, as applicable).
12:45-14:15 Lunch break and networking
14:15 – 15:15 SESSION 4
Measuring Internal Audit Impact
In today’s evolving government, measuring and communicating the impact of audit activities is
integral to promote accountability and transparency and demonstrate the value of audit functions.
Furthermore, it supports strategic risk-based decisions and enables continuous improvement in
audit performance and practices. However, there are challenges when measuring the impact of
public sector audits, including difficult calculation of outcomes, legislative changes with driving
factors other than audit results, and the absence of benchmarks for performance comparison. This
session will discuss practices and steps that countries are taking to measure the impact of their
respective functions and how to address existing challenges.
15:15-15:45 Networking and coffee
15:45 – 16:45 SESSION 5
Leveraging Data Analytics for Smarter Internal Control and Internal Audit
While internal audit and its established methodologies have been used for many years, government
organisations have become more intricate. Complexities are now requiring control and audit
functions to introduce data analytics tools and techniques to provide greater awareness into audit
institutions. Internal audit functions can use data analytics tools as a way of better identifying risks,
so they can be appropriately mitigated. This is necessary as the quantity of data (both financial and
unstructured) has grown exponentially in recent years. This session will provide a platform for
countries to discuss how the use of data analytics tools supports their function.
