What is fraud?

The term fraud is commonly used to describe a wide range of misconduct including theft, corruption, embezzlement, bribery, forgery, misrepresentation, collusion, money laundering and concealment of material facts. It often involves the use of deception to make a personal gain for oneself, a connected person or a third party, or a loss for another.

The Managing Authority (MA) has a zero tolerance policy towards fraud and corruption.

Apart from informing the MA via Irregularity alert form, anybody can also inform the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) about suspicions of fraud and irregularities affecting the financial interests of the European Union.
