Angola's Ministry of Finance reported on a workshop organised by its Human Resources Office with the Angolan Banking Training Institute to strengthen public sector management through training on internal control, inspection, integrity and financial crime issues. The programme focused on preventive and corrective oversight, compliance in the management of state assets and resources, and accountability for public managers. Sessions covered the state internal control system, inspection activity across the public administration, legality and regularity checks over public finances, and sanctions applicable to public managers. The workshop also addressed Angola's national strategy for preventing and detecting corruption, whistleblowing mechanisms and legal protection for whistleblowers, and the legal framework for economic and financial crimes, including prevention, investigation, liability and asset recovery. In the anti-money laundering segment, participants discussed Angola's strategy to exit the Financial Action Task Force increased monitoring list and the European Union list of high-risk money laundering jurisdictions, with attention to progress made and the role of public institutions in implementing recommended measures. Specialists from the Inspectorate General of State Administration, the Court of Auditors, the Attorney General's Office, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the State Intelligence and Security Services took part.
